It was the scarest day
Of my life
My nine year old cousin
Stuck in bed
We took him to the hospital
Throwing up
The adults left the room
I stayed in with him
They came back in crying
I didn't know why
My mother took me in the hall
She said
"Jennifer, Blake has cancer"
I tried to ignore it
But I broke down and cried
My little cousin may die
They took him to Childrens Mercy
Down in Kansas City
It was Christmas Eve
We waited by the phone
My hopeless cousin was all alone
He was in surgery
I held my breath
My stepfather got a call
He smiled at me
And said
"Blake is alive"
I started to cry
My tears of join
My little cousin was alive
My Christmas wish was answered
Blake was alive
Now he is eleven
It is two years on Christmas Eve
Doing all the things we never dreamed
My cousin is ok
And now he can see
His eleveth Christmas Eve
Life makes since as now I know
Miricals can happen
To anyone you know
