Wish
A friend was to be rushed to a hospital
Then I was just five
Knowing it was critical
Yet I couldn't strive
Boredom swiftly lost like in family house
With the heaviness of the chest
Deep sighs and fear from spouse
Like the one in a hornet's nest
Here comes her husband
Immediately out from the barn and
Obeying all the strong orders
In rushing her to the life dealers
I could hear her groaning
Vibrating out of iron tin
Screaming and moaning
Just for her to win
I became tensed and wincing
So worried that I couldn't eat
I wish I can have her dancing
Started praying for her to make it
Suddenly, I heard the baby cry
Soberly, I wish to beg her someday
Knowing that I didn't try
Now wishing her a happy 18+ Birthday
