Robbing of light
Theta was here horrified, what kind of god would let this happen to child and not an adult, he would've wanted it to happen rather to him then her,
- I took care of her and one day she was struck by a thorn
She came home in pain and she cried, why we had not known
- Her smile and her glow ripped away from her was she abused? No
She had the luck of the draw and is battered and thrown
- Her parents are struck with grief one of their young is hurt
She has cursed curse that leaves her worn no longer young and alert
- It brings nothing but pain an inconvenience to her still young life
For nurses and hurtful medication is sure for to spark some strife
- At times there are glimpses of hope when she laughs and smiles
Deep inside she is drowned with sadness visible for miles and miles
- I yearn for the day I can see a true smile I can’t wait for that sight
For i truly and utterly miss my child of light

- Comment from author about the poem: Good morning my fellow poets, i hope you have a wonderful. As always feedback is welcome. - Theta the scholar PS: This poem was about one of the girls I babysit, one of my neighbor's daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. She is fine now but it hurts to see her when she is sad or when she feels sick.

Your warm empathy is so evident in this sad account of a young girl having to battle with the effects of leukemia -- 'tho a legitimate series of questions raised at the poem's beginning is unable to be answered to satisfaction hope must be daily fostered in parental hearts when a child gets struck.Such a challenge and thanks Theta for sharing such care and concern for your " child of light." - sending love and hugs. xx
Thank you very much Fay for the kind words.
A thoughtful write T. We don't know - there are life's mysteries. 'Pat' answers won't do. They may only make things worse. It's easy for some folk to give 'answers' if we're not experiencing the situation, or if we're not related to the situation.
Indeed well said Orchidee
Your concern for others shines ut in your words Theta.
I am glad that she has got rid of the awful disease, may the light shine upon her - and you.
Thank you for the kind words Finch
