 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

And So My Heart Broke…


So I was watching the TV this afternoon,
And what I saw broke my heart in two,
The ‘Little Miracles' whose tales of woe…
And the hell they are put through!
I watched them lay in their bed,
So sad, so afraid, and so much more,
With problems that you wouldn't dream of;
And you'd wonder what on earth it was for!
For to see the sights that I saw this day,
Totally broke my heart in two,
I sat and I cried for the children in pain,
And I cried for the suffering that they are put through.
The child who had a deformity on his face,
So sad a sight to see,
Yet there he was, smiling away…
Just melted the heart of me!

And the lad who had a kidney complaint,
It was a blockage and he was in pain,
He cried in fear as he went off to theatre,
Had me sobbing once again!
And the boy who had a cancer,
Who suffered 12 hours of surgery, oh woe is me;
I saw how he looked and it was awful,
But the surgery had to be.
And so my heart broke, it really did,
And it certainly put me to shame!
I have no right to feel sorry for me!
And I will never do that again!
For all I have to do is see those children,
And the images that I witnessed this day,
What can I do?  An onlooker!
Well of course, the least I can do is pray!

For that is all I can do for them,
But this I shall tell you true!
We have no right as adults to moan!
After seeing what those children go through!
Who am I to cry and be upset?
Just because my health is bad!
I have no right, no right at all!
No right to feel down, or blue or sad!
And so the images I saw this very day,
Will live in my head and heart,
And I shall pray for those children; three,
For a better health, spoken from my broken heart!
They do not deserve what they go through!!!
Where on earth is this God, this Icon so wise?
Can He not hear their cry in the night?
Can He not hear their frightened cries?

I guess not!!!
