A little girl of 7
Nieve and laughing
Plotting what to do next
Oblivious to the cruel world around her
A girl of 12
Starting middle school
Talking about "When I grow up..."
Making plans to be a vet
Coloring pictures of rainbows and sunsets
A lady of 15
Dreams shattered with the growing bubble
Brain surgery needed to make it quit
Everything put on hold
All her dreams now untold
And for what?
A loveless god!?

This is powerful, i like the progression of time. May the power of the universe bring luck to your sister. (I'm non-religious, so i wish the universe to people, instead of a religious symbol.)

This is a beautiful poem. It's simplistic, but it really punches you in the gut when you read it.

 

I'm very sorry for your sister. I wish her strength to make it through.

&quot;People believe that if we really want to eliminate something, focus on that. How much sense does it make for us to give the particular problem all of the energy, as opposed to focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or peace? -Un.

She is in my prayers -- I promise. I'd pray for everyone on this Earth if I could :( But I can't, not enough time. I think it is better to take action rather than hope and pray for the best, but sometimes, hoping and praying is the most you can do.

Wonderful poem, truthful.
