Two years ago, a close friend of mine, her seven year old daughter, who’s nine this year, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Life changed, include ours, though we are not her kin.
However, miracles happened, she had her transplant and was recovering, but is still very weak physically.
Though she had stopped schooling for almost two years, but managed to catch up a little. Last Christmas, I heard some good news, she’s able to continue her studies in 2011 but with extra care to be taken. It’s a miracle to everybody and we are so much relieved.
Your presence at Christmas was a great present to us
Time is like rocket, nearly two years have passed
I remember two years and earlier, there were many laugh
Sad that happy moment always short, and don’t last
Our lives changed two years ago when hearing the news
That the lively and happy girl of yours was ill
Everyone was sad, other than frowning, nothing we could do
We gradually started to lose contact of you
Calling, email, messages did not seem to work
There were hardly any reply and we dare not disturb
So to the hospital we visited you for support
But you said it was inconvenient and we were told to stop
Your girl under isolation, our visits added to your stress
So we listened to you, while volunteering for bone marrow test
Too bad none of us could help in the transplant, nothing we could do
Minor financial aid the only we could help, but was rejected by you
Chemo was the only thing the doctor could do, the girl was in great pain
The sufferings was not on the girl alone, and they seem again and again
Falling of hair was not the only pain as hair could grow but the sight pierced the heart
Tears were like water tap, flowing any moment, dried and then back to the start
To temples, churches and also in the hearts all prayed for miracles
But miracles somehow have to depend on the will power of people
One day, we were told, someone’s bone marrow matched with your girl
The savior’s name was not told, as he was an international donor
Everyone again cried, but this round the crying was acceptable
Transplant was done, but with complication and the girl was weak
Negative feedback started to come from everywhere and everyone panicked
Extra care to be taken to the girl at home, so you decided to quit your job
Home tutoring was given to catch up slightly, though all other activities have to be stopped
It was a great miracle, she had passed the examination though she has stopped schooling
Another miracle, she is able to continue her studies this year, doctor confirmed, finally
Your presence last Christmas with updates of your girl made us relieved
Smiling in our hearts, we continue to pray that she gets well, that’s the main thing we wish

very poignant indeed; words of sadness turned into words of inspiration 
I like it.
Sad to hear the little girl and her family suffered so much. Glad that she is recovering and can be back to school. Deepest wishes to her, the family and all the friends, including you. Happy always.
