Poem

Few witnesses to your young private tears at the age of ten
Why me  Why me
No amount of hugs or consolation could provide a reason or answer

I know if I had been there 
My heart too would have shattered in a million pieces

Your brother never forgot those Why me tears in the night
Going through unthinkable ordeal foreign to any of us
So young  Why me indeed

Years toughened you up till you traded those tears for strength
And people would ask why you were always so lucky
I think it started off with those Why me tears
Then Lady Luck came along to compensate

Thank goodness you were surrounded with love and pampering
You pulled through and knew you could make the most of it
You bit into this crazy world as you would into a juicy red apple

Why me became why not me
And you didn’t let anything stop you
You had a million dreams

You had goals and they were all out there for the taking
And you went for it  You went for it all
And I loved you all the more for it
