The light now dims,
The strength to fight
no longer there,
Awaken I do
from time to time
only long enough
to write a few words,
My mother came to me
the other night,
she told me it was okay
to end my fight,
my daddy heard me
talking to her,
telling her I need some time
to set things right,
I need to tell my friends
just how bad I was,
My daddy cried
as he held my hand,
I told him
daddy please don't let me go
I love you mommy,
please just let me
fight a while longer,
Daddy has been good to me
he writes on my page,
he reads all the poems
from my friends,
I need my friends to know
that when they write
it fills my heart,
please mommy talk to god
Daddy writes my poems
on my poetry page,
I know you watch over us
I see you every night mommy,
I just need a little while longer,
daddy types my poems for my friends to see,
I know he cries silently,
I'll end my fight
when I set things right,
please mommy just let me
have just a little time
