The Result

They sit in the waiting room in silence
Tightly clasping hands
Together both fearful
To hear words from just one man

Most crucial words they will ever hear
In moments their life’s may change
Intently watching the door open
Eyes lock when they hear their name

They leave the waiting room in silence….

Oh my goodness ! This piece so touched me, causing my heart to skip a beat…. So very relate-able. Simple and pure,,,, yet telling a lifetime of story in so few words. I loved it ! Darrell
