Little Haley Died Today

Haley gave up the ghost today, all we could do was cry and pray. She'd suffered so long, her whole life, disease had wracked her body with strife. Cystic Fibrosis did her in, choked her lungs and kept her thin, poor little child, we knew her well, spending so much time in hospital hell. She barely made twenty-one, and now her short life's said and done. We cried for her mother, in such grief, but to Haley, by God, death was a relief. ©Danielle White
