Cancer

by x Mo x   Mar 15, 2007


Can you imagine the pain
One little girl must feel
When she hears the news
That she might never heal?

Can you imagine the fear
That lives in her heart
When the doctor cries
After he studies her chart?

Can you imagine
How hard it must be
For a little girl like her
To have a B.M.T?

I watched her pain.
I saw her tears.
I prayed for her
To be free of pain and fear.

Leukemia invaded her body
As young and small as she was.
The disease almost killed her
Because that's what it does.

The cancerous monster was conquered
By her some time ago.
But one day she got sick;
It was back and she didn't know.

Now she fights it, yet again,
As it threatens to take her life.
Her physical body can do it,
But her heart struggles with strife.

~Originally written 2-1-2007. It is dedicated to Emily Austin, a little angel with a big problem, and also to everyone else out there who has to suffer with this kind of monster.~

    This is a very well written piece dear. Its really catching the heart and affecting my feelings. I read it with full concentration and I found it so lovely.

    Dear in this line
    "That her might never heal?" I think "her" should be " she". But its not totally wrong as far as descriptive grammar is concerned.

    Anyways the poem is for sure worth 5/5 and you got it. Can you rrc my latest Acrostic.

    First stanza, I believe you meant "she," instead of "her." Second stanza is very strong and emotion-packed, third stanza falls slightly, but manages to keep the quality level up. Fourth stanza is overly simple. Fifth stanza is weak, somewhat un-needed. Sixth stanza, you should say "got sick again." Otherwise, the storyline becomes a bit confused. Last stanza is contradictory. Her heart is a part of her phsyical body, they are not seperated.

    Overall, a nice write, with some faults.

    Touching.
