Challenge
Challenge of the Week CVII
Happiness. The ever-elusive state in which we all strive to linger. Write about the pursuit or experience of happiness. Perhaps it's an illusion. Perhaps it's a character who finds happiness in an unlikely place. Perhaps it'll be the simplest thing you'll ever write, or perhaps the most difficult. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
I Feel God
I feel God when my crying daughter is pushed out of my woman’s womb
I feel God when the nurse places my crying daughter on the unforgiving cold steel scale
I feel God while my daughter lies in the incubator room, and daddy is blocked off
I feel God when my daughter falls and bruises her arm and she screams out for me and a
knifelike pain courses throughout my body
I feel God when my girl climbs down the porch stairs and runs towards me while I walk to her, the sunset’s orange and yellow rays illuminate the beauty of my child and our inevitable embrace
I feel God
I see my girl
I feel God
