My bubble gum
Little plum
Fountain of joy
She's down
With flu and a frown
And a hesitant smile
It's really hard
Breaks my heart
To see a little cub cry
To endure suffering
Crying, not lying but tossing
In sheets of discomfort
But her fervent eyes show
She'll regain her glow
Such a tiger, she is, at heart
I adore souls like hers
Loving, innocent, but terse
Every hindrance she'd outsmart
My little tornado is subtle these days and that's not a nice thing. I miss the brat taking the house down! Kids don't deserve to fall ill at all. But then again, maybe it's nature's way of making them stronger...of helping them toughen up. My niece is an inspiration how she manages a smile even when she's really exhausted with the meds. She's a stunner with how she disallows anything to come in the way of her enjoying her childhood!
I wish her and every child currently on a break from relishing their childhood, a speedy recovery and lots of joy in their lives ahead.
I also wish for the child in us adults, to show thyself and shine in full glory!
