Thousand Watt Smile

A victim of abduction, abuse and terror At six, a sweet daughter and innocent girl Parents grieved with fountain of tears’ blur Sought for justice in screaming anger. Thousand watt smile radiated amidst her wounds Reassured her parents that she'll be fine soon With firm belief that God will cuddle her on His throne As she joins the choir of angels and watch them around. Held their hands and casted them her last thousand watt smile Before her last breath, there were sparkles in her eyes Expression of gratitude before parting for paradise A place beyond those stars, far for her in just few miles.

Sigh, this is an incredibly aching and heart-breaking poem, dear Len..such tragedy for a lil soul to face such catastrophic circumstances. And still the courage in her that bestowed one last thousand watt smile.. that really somewhat pierced my soul. Before her last breath, there were sparkles in her eyes" left me speechless.. the angels will surely bask around her. And she shall be the brightest light.. what a truly heartfelt write..
