Dark Skies

We all greeted the day with such anticipation and excitement.

I can only imagine the tension in waiting,
the crushing disappointment they experienced.

I know that I was not prepared for the tear-filled phone call
with the news that the precious,

 longed for life was extinguished too soon.

tears and prayers...

LOVE

 questions...

answers not known this side of Heaven.

Searching for a glimmer of hope in these dark skies.
