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..
