Right Now

Right now there is…

someone battling for their life,

a son is waiting for his dad to come home,

a football is sitting in the rusty locker waiting to be thrown,

a student is taking a final,

a man is crying because she doesn’t have enough for rent,

a little boy is sad because his ice cream melted,

a stray cat with no place to go,

a grandma is waiting for a call while she is in her death bed.
