More Than Gold

I was screaming....! Help me Jesus! Help me Jesus. My life was ebbing away. The two wires sunk into my fingers, sparkling and draining me dry! An itching surge ran through my veins. I felt so lifeless, I have never felt like that before. The currents hung unto me when I was about separating the wires from touching, the man at the generator ignited it at the moment and that was it! I could not be saved, nobody was ready to snatch me away from the fangs of death but then I heard mother scream and feel her thud as she rushed towards a dying me. She cared not to die, she pulled with every force in her and saved me. I have ever nurtured the fact that she loves me not because of her constant chastisement but I know that day the worth of my mother. She stood by my bedside and prayed for my relief. The truth is, in my heart, she's more than gold.
