List of Life

Here is a short list of life's many stories. If we take the time and slow down and notice, there are stories going on around us all the time. Stories of life, death, happiness, anger, love and laughter. Real stories that have real meaning to teach us all. Mommy pulls her newborn baby to her breast The woman puts ice on her eye and cries The little girl peeks over the pew as her mother prays The man wipes the sweat from his face as he lays down his axe The man slams the door behind him as his wife screams The dog howls as they carry the old man away Mother brushes the hair out of her sleeping child's eyes Dad's eyes fill with tears as he gives her away The old man slowly and carefully feeds his wife The young soldier waves goodbye to his family Grandma pats her husband's hand one last time The old dog lays his head on her lap The bride smiles and falls into her husband's arms The man throws the hammer and grabs his thumb Everyone cheers as grandma brings the turkey out of the kitchen The little boy dances as he pulls the fish out of the water The teacher looks at his watch as his student reads her report Papa jerks awake when the preacher hollers The young boy taps his head with his pencil as he takes the test The toddler laughs as she runs away from her daddy Mama rocks her crying child The old woman in her veil and white gloves neatly folds her handkerchief She watches hopefully as the chemicals slowly drip into her vein The groom swoons as his bride is escorted down the isle Father can barely remove his shoes after work Mama lies awake listening to her sleeping family The writer yawns and lays down his pen 7/24/19 Writing Challenge 3, July 2019 Sponsored by: Dear Heart
