Endeavor

A Poem by Alexis

Young child, this was never supposed to happen

I don't know what appeared in you that one horrible day

When I heard the words of your misfortune, I was speechless as I stood

I did not know what to do, or what I even could

As your heart beats, my spirit rises

Just knowing that you're alive

The never ending smile you have on your face;

It never seems to be put away in a case

The cancer was no match for your happiness

Regardless of the pain it put you and your family through

And when they told me the cancer actually took you away

I stood there once again, not knowing what I should say

I saw the tears fall down their cheeks as they heard the terrible news

All the saddened faces filled with agony

I felt my eyes burn hot

I knew we would all miss you a lot

But rest in peace, dear child,

for God welcomes you home with open arms

You'll live on forever and ever

Never again to face such a tragic endeavor.
