Screams of Life

She lay on the bed Screaming The pain was expressed in the pitch of her voice Nurses were hovering over her monitoring her condition Her husband was banished into the corridor He paced up and down as if attempting to form a trench in the marble Her screams subsided for a brief moment Then escalated, echoing through the hospital He couldn’t handle it any longer And burst into the room Only to be ushered out again He had noticed blood on the bed For the first time, he felt helpless His wife’s screams were like pins piercing his skin He continued his pacing up and down A doctor came to the door Briefly stopped to check his bleeper Before entering the room Moments later the doctor came out With blooded gloves “ Your wife will be ok,” the doctor said “ By the way Mr. Aims, congratulations, you have a baby boy.” He raced in overwhelmed by the tears of joy. * "HARVEST OF HAPPINESS" Linda-Marie The Sweetheart of P.S.
