Poem on Death of a Child

ANOTHER ANGEL LEAVES – BY CSABA MERA

she first came to the doctor

when she was two years old

diagnosed with leukemia

tests were reviewed

with mom and dad

treatment plans were set

chemotherapy started

frequent office visits

for testing and treatment

the parents were trusting

they adored their sweet angel

struggling and trying to survive

the final treatments completed

moving onto observation

testing and monitoring

for two years there was hope

prayers were answered

and the sweet angel thrived

but then the blood beast returned

with even greater vengeance

requiring more aggressive treatment

after several options had been tried

there were none left that would help

the little angel to survive

parents and doctor were heartbroken

and the options for the end

were empathetically addressed

mom and dad took their daughter home

with medicine to quell her increasing pain

doctor visited the family to help them

through the painful ordeal

the sweet angel passed peacefully

cradled by mother and father

till her last sweet angel breath
