I Think Of You

Into the phone she spoke
And told the fearsome news.
The untrasound showed something wrong.
Using the scale of one to four.
Yours was a four plus.
Dreaded.

I cannot read. I think of you.

No food tonight.
They fear the worst.
Everything is urgent.
Tomorrow under the knife you go.
Perhaps a lymph node too.
Frightened.

I cannot sleep. I think of you.

I know you think of her.
She seemed like your sister
More than your mother.
They told her what they're telling you.
Would God let this happen twice?
Overwhelmed.

I try to pray. I think of you.

What does tomorrow hold?
What have you told your children?
I see mine sleeping and wonder.
Where did you find the words?
What are you thinking?
Saddened.

Tears are falling. I think of you.

Please pray for my friend tomorrow and her family.

Sarah - I may have said this before but I am so sorry about your mom. If you ever want to talk about it, I'm here.
