The Fighter


Hey, I'm not ready to go yet.
I see it in his eyes that follow me as I 
sing to him, 
rip up that paperwork to donate my kidney
forget that genetics stuff, I'm fine.
just started out badly...
time for you all to give me a chance.
Shock settled over the room when the echo
showed zero splits, blood flowing across his
lungs.
now we wait for tomorrow, for the big test,
to see whether Little Owen will show up,
little biceps bulging, eyes open, to fight
for his own life,
and for ours. 10/9/2021
