a poem by Jarrod Hart (c.1999)<\/p>\n
—-<\/p>\n
From a look to the left and a glance to the right
\nComes the cold grip of a horrible fright!
\nFor what she can’t see causes horrible fear
\n…what she can’t see is utterly dear!<\/p>\n
A second goes past and still nothing’s there;
\nAnother look here another one there!
\nOh come now, be serious, this can’t be so!
\nBut frantic fast panic has nothing to show!<\/p>\n
Silk fury now flies, far into the blue
\nAnd tears in her eyes show feelings too true…
\nShe closes those eyes and feels for the sky
\nAs she wonders, wonders… Lord why?<\/p>\n
—-<\/p>\n
He gives her the stength to stop spinning round
\nAs she tests out her senses; feels for the ground
\nThe dizziness passes, she looks down the aisle
\nHer child in the distance, bearing a smile…<\/p>\n
The child was not gone, but simply misplaced
\nMom quietly blushes, but inside she’s disgraced.
\nBut our new mom will grow, with the knowledge so brave,
\nThat life’s ride’s a transient on the crest of a wave…<\/p>\n
And if we live ‘moments’ and feel to the hilt,
\nWe gain\u00a0independence\u00a0from the pain they call guilt.<\/p>\n
