    They say
    The worst gifts to get
    Are those that you have to
    Fake your appreciation for
    
                          
    But this is a lie
    
                          
    The worst birthday gift to get
    Is the news that 
    Your little brother
    Might be dead by dawn
    
                          
    The eve of my 18th birthday 
    My dad looked me in the eye
    And he said 
    "Your brothers appendix 
    Has ruptured.
    This is bad.
    This could be deadly, Beth."
    Those words alone
    Are quite scary
    But paired with the fear in my 
    Father's eyes
    They were 
    Terrifying
    
                          
    My father is rarely a man of fear
    I can count the times
    I've seen him afraid,
    Truly afraid,
    On one hand
    So when I saw the fear in his eyes
    I knew that my brothers 
    Life 
    Was hanging in the balance
