The Flower That Shattered the Stone
As I look back I see a girl
She is at a quinceanera practice
She suffers from leukemia.
Like a bright star from heaven
The sun and water brought life
Then leukemia drained it
It’s sharper than a knife
To see her alive is blissful
Her light sparkles even in illness
The illness is sad but not sinful
As the river runs freely
The mountain does rise
I see with my own eyes
Medicine has helped her recover
Life hasn’t looked so bright before
I’m proud not to see her suffer
We’re all glad that her pain is lower than minor
The rainbow was painted full of light
Like a bright star from heaven
Like the flower that shattered the stone.
Light hearted
