Cancer

I was nine
Everyone thought I was fine
Until the doctor told me something that changed my life forever
I had cancer
My jaw dropped to the ground
I couldn't make a sound
At that time I thought everything bad went my way
It was like my wings were hidden for me to soon fly away
I was so shocked I couldn't cry
I was too young to die
I went on life knowing soon I would die
I didn't ever stop to cry
I didn't want to waste what time I had
Deep down I was very sad
When the day came that I did die
Everyone started to ask why
Why the Lord chose such a young girl to go
They didn't know
I was in a better place
I had a happier face
On my burial day
The gray clouds broke to a little sunray
I was finally at rest and happy
I was finally free
Everyone finally noticed it was foolish to greave
Even though I was so young and had to leave
I was better
And I would be with all of them forever
