Poem Title:
Poem
This is dedicated to the sweetest little 10 year old girl I met once who died of Brain Cancer... "Memories escape from you, Ones we do not want to lose" She whispered to me softly When I felt all confused, As our moment slipped away, She made me want to say, "Angels walk beside us all Each slowly passing day" As she walked away from me, Unafraid to let me see, A shaven head, she covered up, Where her hair used to be, So much courage for her age Not empty and full of rage, A miracle, in modern times, She chose to turn the page She has chosen not to grieve, Instead she just believes, A higher power watches her and keeps her mind at ease, Unburdened by her fate She accepts it unafraid, Barbie dolls and fancy clothes Will rest where they are laid There are times I can recall When the pebbles made me fall With boulders on her shoulders No complaining comes at all With a smile upon her face She achieved a state of grace The only thought inside her head "God please protect this place" She will see no wedding rings Or the change her presence brings She will close her eyes, a final time, and receive her angel wings No emotions toss and turn A peaceful place she has earned Contributing an unseen verse To songs she will not learn When her body is no more, And her spirit starts to soar, Memories will live through, Stuffed bears upon her floor, She will let her mother know Goodbye is not letting go, Saying " I will run back to you With every found hair bow Every time you stop and see A daughter who wants to be, Everything her mother is, The emotion felt is me, When the wind begins to blow That is me trying to show, The picture of your baby girl Running carefree in your clothes" When her final breathe is gone Her last prayer lives on and on "God watch over mommy now If I leave her all alone" All her family will cry I will hold my head and sigh At the death of a miracle With no answers as to why Though this piece will not be heard I write every single word In hopes of saying thank you For the honor of meeting her She will never get to see All the words she put in me As I write for you, rest in peace, Beloved Emily By: Audonus Taylor
