Free Cee I Cannot

she's lost most of her hair and lays still in her bed an oxygen tank is her constant companion somehow she summons a smile midst dreariness and dread and her pain is as deep as any known canyon her's is a matter of gravity, grave in nature and ways it's a sorrowful situation as the light grows dim in her eyes she has drearily dizzy nights and un-busy days yet she spouts words of wisdom from a mind so wise her arms are but bones, her legs akin to a stick her body is rotting both outside and in how sad it is to view beauty so perilously sick and her condition proves that even her god can sin personally i can't visit her because too large is my heart i can't face the signs that she headed too soon for Heaven age seems her body yet she accepts that soon she will depart and saddest of all is that she's only eleven to Debbie- who cancer is cancelling a most beautiful little girl (c) 2012 ...PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~

A very heart-wrenching write, Jeffrey. It is such a tragedy to see a child waste away from cancer. I can't begin to imagine the heart-ache.
