Heaven's Darling

Heaven's Darling

A Poem by Sana Fatma

She's an angel, a darling, sweet as all girls
She's all of six, large eyes, silky curls
Her cheeks flaunt a dimple
Her eyes own a twinkle
They have a charming, witty light
She possesses cuteness infinte
She has a hearty, musical laugh
She's bewitched all the school staff
The way she talks will steal your heart
And if you ever notice her in a mart
Her charms will make you turn, look twice
and whisper to your friend, 'ain't she nice?!'
She's a flower from heaven, as a child can be
If she were yours, wouldn't you be happy?
But her parents cry rivers every night in bed
Because - did I mention? - she has a tumour in her head.

The idea behind this poem is to bring to people's notice the rapidly spreading curse of cancer and its indiscriminate tendency of attacking any one without any bias. I hope that people realise the urgent importance of spreading awareness about this issue and help the affected.

Cancer is killing young and old. A very sad poem. Hard to lose a child to cancer. You create a powerful poem. Sad part. The poem tells a true story. Thank you for the excellent poem.

What a beautiful poem. I had absolutely no idea about the ending and it surprised me very much. It's not something that you would be aware of just by looking on the outside. There are stories behind every charming and beautiful smile that thousands would not understand. I'm glad you are writing words to bring awareness to others.

Thank you for this wonderful piece.

Wow, the poem just takes such an unexpected turn at the end! How moving - just goes to show none of us knows what others are gong through - things seem so perfect from the outside some times - great work :)
