Poem
She was just four years old when diagnosed with cancer, we were all so confused and begged and pleaded for answers. We knew not at first how bad it was until one gloomy winter day, when we heard the diagnosis and didn’t know what to say. Cancer filled her marrow and pain filled her innocent soul, she walked a path of heartache with poison eating her whole. She’ll never get to see the beauty of bearing a child of her own, but the one great thing is that she didn’t die alone. She fought like a trooper full of strength; a little courageous hero, held onto ever single breath until her breaths went to zero. So innocent and sweet with a heart of gold to remember, but I’ll never forget that chilly fall day in late September. We sat around her bed holding hands and knew it was time, for her to say goodbye… she was so weak but wrote us a rhyme- She said, “please don’t worry about me when I am gone, my soul will be in heaven where tiny angels belong.” I felt the inspiration as I watched her close her dreary eyes, it’s been over five long years, man how time flies. The beauty of a loss lies in the remarkable moment of peace, her compassion and love for life every day always increased. She is definitely someone younger who gave me inspiration, for I am grateful for the way God made such a beautiful creation, She’ll always fly high in my dreams and in my soul I shall keep, as I say my prayers to her softly, when I lay my head to sleep.
