Hope Should Never Die

This girl has reached too early the terminal
Her tender lungs are struck by cancer fatal
The drowsy eyes decline to close the petal
Lest she drifts slowly to the lap of sleep final
And on her beautiful world the curtains fall.
She knows the reality as clear as the daylight
Her tender lungs are struck by cancer fatal.
In feeble breath she tells the lungs, let’s fight.

Almost losing the battle she tells her mother
After my lungs stop to give me anymore air
Freeze me in a dark chamber somewhere near
The way you kept me in your womb with care
I’ll hibernate and wait as your unborn daughter
Till they find the cure for cancer, I’ll then return
After my lungs stop to give me anymore air
Live again in this beautiful world so much I yearn.

Hope should never die in threats even terminal.

This is so sad Subimal. I always suggest Mangosteen juice supplement from the health food store that helps kill cancer cells. because I had cancer and I swear it helped save my life.
