Waiting

she is screaming 
he is laughing 
baby is crying 
feelings are slipping 
I am watching 
the hand is slapping 
she is falling 
he's still laughing 
I'm now crying 
she is rising 
he is pushing 
I am fleeing 
baby still crying 
she is bleeding 
he is kicking 
I am flying 
she's not breating 
he is seeing 
he's now crying 
I'm now calling

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
