Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition
In sadness and despair, I watch you each day.
The weight of your sickness on my sleeve.
Wishing that I could make the pain go away.
But it’s harder than lots of people believe,
My fragile emotions are constantly swayed.
Praying as you battle, tears fall as I grieve.
I beg to God as the sun begins to fade,
And the moon comes out to light up the dark sky.
Praying, hoping that he will come to your aid.
I wish that there was an answer to my ‘why?’.
Because I just never want to say goodbye.
