Alive 7/25/2008

I need you here
Here next to me

To wait
To wait with us
For the new birth
The birth of our child
Yea it will be wild
She or He just hours free
In your arms 80 years young
Breathing strong
Breathing the same air
Showing no fear
No fear of life
No fear of death
I need you here
Here next to me
With Me
With We
For She or He
Whomever they shall be
Just Healthy
Our little baby
I can't wait!
So don't you be late!
(A note to my Mother)

Sudden Halt 7/25/2008

Sitting in the ER
You do not have to go far
To get a glimpse of brutal reality
It is a perpetuality
They come in by the bunch
Some crouched in a hunch
In the fetal position
Caused from an accidental situation
Some all alone
Some with their other
Many on their cell-phone
We all become each others sister and brother
Though we may never speak to one another
Why even bother
When body language speaks a zillion dialects
Sitting in the ER there is the most respect
I sit there with my Mother
Of course there in no other
I am there because I care
I try to erase all my fear
The waiting is the hardest part
But it is just the start
The start towards the end
The end never seems to come
Then one day it sneaks up behind
And gives you that life shattering grind
That Grind to a halt
Ah was it my own fault
We will never really know
For "HE" never shows
Trick 'em all and keep on that GLOW
Right till that life shattering grind
That Grind to a sudden halt!
