TIME
Have u ever heard the sound,
of a heartbeat in distress.
Stimulated a baby,
as it laid on its mother’s chest.
With every passing SECOND,
you plead to the lord above,
they’ll take their first breath,
and remain with the ones they’ll love.
Have you ever held the hand,
of a mother thrashing in pain.
Blood flowing like a river,
trying to keep her sane.
Have you ever calmed a husband,
as he held his lifeless wife.
TIME is of the essence,
as you transfuse to save her life.
Has your heart ever shattered,
from the silence of a Doppler.
Or, the pain curling screams,
as she holds her demise in a rocker.
TIME is so precious,
when it comes to life and death.
EVERY SECOND counts,
or it could lead to their last breath.
Stand up for what’s right,
our community needs your voice.
Some mothers live in poverty,
some mothers have no choice.
Let your cries echo,
every life deserves a century.
What if distance becomes the thief,
they’re worth more than a memory.
