Unknown

It rained on us
All the way to the hospital.
And she giggled,
As we went.

Giant drops splattering,
In conjunction with her laughter.

Her excitement at this adventure,
A singing bird,
Trilling away,
Unbothered.

"Please,
dear Lord,"
I prayed,
"May this always be an adventure
And not a harm."

I drove my precious,
Exclaiming,
Passenger
Through the downpour,
To the doors of the unknown.
