Read Time:19 Second
Two cries
Same time
Same place
A cry of joy
A cry of woe
One of life
One of death
One wrapped in swaddling
From the maternity closet
Warm hands of life welcomes
The other Wrapped in shrouds
Cold hands of death snatches
To the mortality morgue
One in, one out
Two cries
Same time
Same place
The hospital
haven of life
and death!
