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.
