: Innocent children suffer by Jackarrie
    Free-style poem: human suffering Contest Winner 


if only i could take your pain
comfort your sad thoughts
remove your fears
my child, my baby
why you?

much too young to die
if love could heal
you would be coming home
to your own cot
where shiny stars adorn
where Felix waits at home

you won't even miss him
or us
but we will miss you so much
my little man

i must smile bravely
block out the cruel words
of reality
be the strength you need

medical terms i don't need to know
the result is still grief
a burden i must bear
all hope is abandoned
the time has come
now
the pain of loss begins
