Only Link a Telephone Line

The wait_only link a telephone line Minutes trickle through the minute glass Everyone gets a call and that is fine Our daughter answered phone as her own task Minutes trickle through the minute glass Finally the phone call from Doctor Burke Our daughter answered phone as her own task His job was done; he did excellent work Finally the phone call from Doctor Burke Surgery finished, it went well_ hip in His job was done; he did excellent work Wait again while in recovery_wear thin Surgery finished, it went well_ hip in He's in recovery will be there short while Wait again while in recovery_wear thin My anxiety went past quarter mile He's in recovery will be there short while Everyone gets a call and that is fine My anxiety went past quarter mile The wait_only link a telephone line

I'm so glad Tommy Jr.'s healing well now, Sara. The road to recovery will be long, but the worst is behind him now. Blessings to your family. I like the way you used the pantoum form to convey the way this impacted your family. Best wishes in Jared's contest. Love, Carolyn

Great success in this piece. and that telephone waiting to ring is very hard on the nerves... can understand my friend.. Eric must stay in hospital at least one month.. another transfusion tomorrow to make sure all the poison is gone and his new fluids are clear and perfect... he needs lots of nutrition and strenght building up too.. thankxxx for your prayers .. they have sparked the miracle I received and Eric is alive .. and God is good.. your son will too... Mothers stick together..luv..
