LAST BEAT

Many days passed in despair,

complaining, crying & saying it's not fair.

Life swayed as the truth hit,

but mind wasn't ready to accept it.

Glued to the bed & jealous of the sound,

of the children shouting & playing in the ground.

Hands were numb so the tears it couldn't wipe,

whole body was attached & surrounded by tubes & pipe.

Eyes couldn't see, they were half closed,

stop being hopeful, the mind forced.

Rants from within could be heard,

asking for life & to fly again like a bird.

To get up, move around, walk & run,

to again live freely & have fun.

To sit & think surrounded by trees,

to breathe & live happily at peace.

To fulfill all these wishes, every bit of it,

her heart appealed to cancer with it's last beat.
