its too soon for you

they say that age doesn't matter in death and they were right

because you are only two years old and yet death is sneaking up on you,

slipping into your room late at night when the monsters plague your dreams

and make you wake up suddenly, fear making your little two year old limbs

tremble as you cry out for your mother and your father;

"mommy, daddy!"

but those monsters are not the ones you should be fearing,

the one you should fear is hiding in your blood and your bones

and you can't see it as it rips you apart from the inside out,

making your parents want to cry out to God and plead for Him to save

their little baby girl with only two years of experience who is so close

to slipping away because of the cancer that plagues you and eats at your

two year old body, two years of no experience yet

so close to being taken away.

 

and i pray that someone can come and take away all of the monsters,

hiding in your dreams and hiding in your little body that is already

so very frail and fragile

because, you, more than anyone in this world

deserve to grow big and strong and fight those monsters and live a life

with many more cakes because two is not enough to know

which one is your favorite.
