Embers of Time

The curtain is closing, the door shut.
                             Lights are on, bed is dressed in white. 
                                      Utensils keep on clanging. 
                              Sweat and blood are gently flowing. 
                            Tension, pain and countless breathing. 
                                There's no seconds to be wasted. 
                           The embers of time to save lives in hands. 
                           Life support generates to sustain their life. 
                             And the long hours of waiting are done. 
                       The door opens, people came out from the light. 
                                Successful momentum has arrived. 
                           Tears are softly coming out from the eyes. 
                                    An angel was sent from above, 
                              Is now cradling in the arms of his dad. 
                                 The embers of love from the heart. 
                        Is flaming like a hot lava rushing in the ground. 
                  The life from a newborn child, made two hearts ignite.
