The tempest has blown over,
Dark dreams have all died down.
It’s time to turn the four leaf clover
And rid you of that frown
Your happiness is like a dove.
That soars through heavens wide
Go spread your care and love
That your heart kept deep inside
Your smile, it lights the world
A precious gift to those who care
It tells us that you’re ready
To face the world out there
Take it slow and steady
Don’t rush back to the race
Be sure you’re fit and ready
Just fall in at your own pace
Fight back your inner fears
Even though it’ll take a while
Take back those dreadful tears
Bring back that cheerful smile

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem was written to encourage our daughter to get back into her normal life at a slow and steady pace. The after-effects of chemotherapy involves a total disorientation between deep seated fears and phobias against the once cheerful and brave persona that she was before undergoing the therapy. We hope and wish that she will eventually bring back the smile into her life

I am sure she will, just give her love, space and time. That will ensure her own pace to find herself again. And never despair, 'cause we all see that the truth lies inside ourselves.
Please send her a note from me, I hope she finds what she dreams and hopes above all, that she enjoys herself, for who she is, we are all precious.
Best
Dolphine.
Thank you Dolphine29. An A10 from you is certainly a compliment. Our daughter reads my poems in this site. I'm sure she will appreciate what you have written here! Thank you again from all of us here in Malaysia
Dear respected Huzaidi Hashim,
In spite of deepest sorrow
You have penned a beauty
Your poem is excellent really
Rhyme and rhythm are intact
May God bless your dear child
She will soon recover I now pray
Please encourage her greatly
Love her strongly to strengthen
God can do miracles easily
So approaching God is wise
I can only appeal to the Lord
But, prayer will bring cure.
Yours prayerfully,
mvvenkataraman
Thank you Mvvenkataraman for your kind words!
