Wish Upon a Star

Hard to imagine A whole ward of sick children Young yet months or days to live Fighting for their lives Hoping at least a few will beat the odds Families suffering from broken hearts Putting up a strong front Day to day imagining the worst Not understanding how they will cope Why them Why Why Why Life and Death are all too unfair Beautiful innocent darlings As pure as any angel Why them Why Why Why Nocturnal visits as dreams from beyond Bring comfort and the words of hope For those whose hearts grieve This circle of life hardly begun posted on November 10, 2017

This is a heartfelt poem that touches so well upon the pain felt when having to deal with medical problems. Especially with those that are dependent upon the adult. Inspiring read.
