Lose The Whine

Lose The Whine

Her constant lamentations
about the raw deal
life dealt her
were silenced
when she visited
the children's cancer ward

To see the courage
in those little eyes

and feel
the concentrated love
all around

She found perspective
and channeled the hope
that surrounded all who came

Lessons learned
in a hospital ward

No matter
what life
may throw our way

always

This poem most definitely deserves 5*s. It made me cry. So many people take their petty problems for granted and I have always wanted to help little kids with cancer. It breaks my heart. Nice write.
