Voices of the Unheard

[Sarah]

Sarah....

By a cascading lake I remember the words you asked me.. 

"What do you wanna be when you grow up?"..

Of course I picked the most obviously answer without a second thought upon my tongue.

"A hero", I proclaimed.

How disappointed you would be if you could see me now..

For I suppose I didn't take into consideration the improbability of it all.

There's no comfort in waiting room 

Just nervous paces for that month.

Then the nurse comes round and everyone shakes their head..

I'm thinking back on what Sarah said...
