A Little Girls Dying Wish

by Hailey   Sep 30, 2004


The Doctors Said Your Going To Die
Probably Less Than A Year
Words Shattering The Room
As Slowly Grew The Fear

My Parents Started Crying
They Would Lose Their Little Girl
I Had Only Just Turned Fifteen
I Hadn't Even Seen This World

She Has A Life Threatening Decease
Thats What I Heard Them Say
We Cant Give You A Cure
We Will Play It Day By Day

I Don't Understand Exactly What They Said
Its Some Kind Of Cancer I Think
One Day It Just Takes Over Your Body
Before Anyone Can Even Blink

Radio Therapy Just Cant Help
Neither Can A Special Diet They Frowned
All You Can Really Do Now
Is Enjoy And Keep Your Family Around

Do The Things You Want To Do
Before You Cant Get Out Of Bed Anymore
Probably In Less Then Even Six Months
You Wont Be Able To Reach The Front Door

No-One Wanted To Admit It
That It Wouldn't Be Very Long
But Deep Down We All Knew
That The Doctors Couldn't Be Wrong

So We Started Planning Things
That I Wanted To Do And See
Even Though I Wouldn't Achieve
All The Things I Wanted To Be

We Took Long Walks On The Beach
Family Picnics And Kisses Galore
Saw Distant Relatives Id Never Met
Did So Many Things And More

They Even Saw A Publisher
And Had My Poetry Made Into A Book
All The Things Id Ever Written
Was There For People To Have A Look

I Wrote Letters Of Goodbye
To Pretty Much Everyone I Knew
Wrote Poems Through My Tears
And Tried To Help Them Through

I Wrote My Mother A Poem
My Family And Boyfriend A Letter
Each Word Explained My Love
And Said I Knew I wouldn't Get Better

I Even Chose The Song
That I Wanted When I Died
To Play At My Funeral
And This They Would Abide

They Swore They'd Play The Song I Loved
By Atari's The Song My reply
It Was About A Girl Who Wrote To Them
She Was Sick And Had To Die

I Picked The Flowers I Wanted
Down To Every Single Last Detail
Then I Got All My Poems And Letters
And With tears Put Them In The Mail

I Made A Little Home Video
For My Little Brother Of Two
So One day He'd Have An Idea
Of The Big Sister He Never Knew

I Talked With My Four Other Brothers
For Hours And Hours On End
Told Them All I Had Learned
And Told Them They Were My Bested Friends

6months Came And Went
Slowly I Fought To Breathe
I Knew It Was Nearing The End
And I had Been Given All I Could Receive

My Goal Was To Live At least Till The Day
When I Would Turn Sixteen
I Struggled And Fought On
So I Could Fulfill My Dream

But One Minute Before Midnight
I Quietly Passed Away
All I Really Wanted
Was To See A Minute Into The Next Day

My Family Turned The Machines Off At last
And Each Said A Last Goodbye
With Tears In The Eyes So Sad
They Knew I Had Died

At My Funeral They Played That Song
By Atari's My reply I chose
Read My Last Poem I Ever Wrote
And even Had My Favourite Rose

But What Made Me Smile
As I Watched From up Above
All The People Who Were There
Were Sad But Filled With Love

And At Last My Mother Spoke
She Spoke What I Didn't Know Was True
I Had Actually Made It A Minute Past Midnight To Sixteen
But I Died Before I Knew

They All Said Their Last Goodbyes
And Gave Me Their Love Before I Went Away
But My Last Wish had Come True

Please Vote And Comment..Obviously Its Not True But I Incorperated Some Parts f My Life..I Looked At Life As If I Was To Die To Tommorow...
I At least Made It To My Sixteen Birthday....
