Have you ever looked in the eyes
of a child while she is crying
in pain with solitude

Because she can not understand
what is going on in her life battling
a war that she has been a victim
of

Well I have seen it in the eyes
of my niece

every time she wakes
to great this world she never
asked to enter

her child hood being held
prisoner to the tumor growing
in her brain

and nothing can she
do but endure the pain

Sitting wishing god would
give me her pain

and let her walk free from
this obstacle that

has manage to cause
her this pain

know one but god
can help her from this
point on

at times
I feel at if I am tied
by both arms

watching my sister trying to
be strong while smiling through
this painful storm which no
parent deserves

Everything done by God
is with a purpose

however this cross has come heavier
then we can work with

losing myself in a emotional
earthquake

shedding a internal tear
every time her angelic voice
I hear

holding her hand kissing
her cheek telling her Tio is right
hear

Going through it all crying
in silence so know one else
can hear

Plenty of faith but inside
I still I have fear

hoping that all my prayers
Jesus can hear

placing his hand in her
brain making it disappear

my words are so sincere
yet my pain through them
I am sure will appear

it’s almost as if suffering
has become part of my
career

I use my words to
shelter the
pain of my heart

where I try to keep
it in the dark as I
embark on this
journey

To help my niece
overcome this situation
so hard painful and very
scary…….

Lord Hear our Prayers……
