Fever

fever’s grip and a mother’s fear

Fever belongs to the following groups:

Yellow Gallery

Tonight
he breathes a labored breath
he bakes in a fever of fear
my fear
I want him well.
I will it, because I can change this
By my own power
I can cool him
Bathe him in a shower
of peace
Bring him home to me.

    As a mother – I know this! You express it so well – the minute seconds, as you watch and wait with concern, spread out into light years! T.

    Yes, light years is exactly how it feels. And when the fever breaks…pure relief. Thanks so much for your comment!
