Sibling

Sarah sat on the uncomfortable chair
Awaiting news of something she didn't quite understand
She turned six yesterday
Not like anyone noticed
Not since Mommy has been in the hospital
Not since Mommy had gone into "labor"
As Daddy called it
Daddy tried to pay attention to Sarah
But Mommy was having problems
The baby won't come out
Sarah is scared
Sarah is confused
Ever since Mommy's tummy got bigger
No one has paid attention to Sarah
Sarah is jealous
Jealous of the brother or sister she doesn't have
Or might not have
Then Daddy comes out
The baby finally came
Sarah slowly walks in
Daddy immediately leaves her to walk to Mommy
Mommy and Daddy have tears in there eyes
So does Sarah
But unlike Mommy and Daddy
Sarah isn't smiling
