breathe.

June 23, 2011 by karasscreative

breathe in

and out

 

as your daddy travels

worried over dusty roads

 

breathe in

and out

 

as your mommy cries

but finds her strength

 

breathe in

and out

 

as they force your airway

to.open.up

 

breathe in

and out

 

as our tribe huddles

around your hospital bed

 

breathe in

and out

 

as the morning tide

creeps to your doorway

 

breathe in

and out


because, my sweet baby love, your mommy couldn’t breathe again if you didn’t…

    Hey Kristy

    How is Neo doing?
    Constantly thinking of you guys and Ben on his travels. Pray God’s strength and protection over you guys. I KNOW he goes ahead to make your path steady.

    Lots of love
    Wendy Charity (wife of Craig Charity :))
