It Wasn't Your Time.

A poem for a little girl I knew.. She died at 7 from cancer. She fought since she was born when her life was only supposed to last 6 months. RIP Hunter..

When you first woke up, 

You were already broken.

6 months was all that filled your cup.

You denied the gates of Heaven when they opened.

You were a sister and daughter.

Hunter, that was your name.

You never gave up, you were a fighter.

You told God he couldn't take you when he came.

You proved them wrong by 7 years,

But that still wasn't your time.

I remember you, a girl with no fears.

You shouldn't have left in your prime.

A very touching and powerful piece of poetry. This one started to bring tears to my eyes. I knew some kids with cancer, and it isn't fair that they would have to go through something so terrifying. The fact that little girl lasted all that time is a testament to the power of her spirit. You have done her justice with this poem. I know that somewhere in Heaven she is smiling at you.

So sad. This is a beautiful piece of writing, it's so easy to forget how precious life is, that some people don't get the chance to make it past a young age.

Beautiful poem, sydney. I can tell she really meant a lot to you. Its always sad when a loved one dies, especially at such a young age.

A sad poem. Hard to understand a death of anyone who is young. When someone surpass a given time of life. Allow us to appreciate and miss them more. A excellent poem. Thank you.
