Broken Hearts

I watched his heart break today 856AM. I sat there stunned as his assistant told us with a straight face the cost would be 25k. I could feel his heart beat much like he used to kick me as he grew inside of me. He's a man now, really close to it. I could see the tears threatening to spill down his beautiful chocolate face. Even at 14 yrs old he knew we didn't have that kind of money. A hard life lesson. He held those tears like a winning lottery ticket, when all he had won was a mother who couldn't provide for him the thing he wanted... 25k for the surgery. Mama can't fix it, but Mama sure is gonna try. He's not the only one with a broken heart; mine broke at 0857AM
