Sleeping? So beautiful.
Angelic and serene
Rhythmic breaths, silent slumber
Distance and anger ruled today
Why? Neglect.
Painful and torn
Starvation pains, filthy mouth
Heart-broke and sadness come around
A chance? Perhaps.
Determination and skill
Quick theraplay, some holding
Potential and possibilities show up
Hope? Definitely!
Empathy and grief
Endless prayer, silent praise
Smiles and hugs visit now
The future? Can be seen.
