SHE HAS GONE

MY PRINCESS

I FIRST MET HER WHEN SHE WAS THREE MONTHS OLD, SUCH A TINY BUNDLE I DID UNFOLD,
HER TINY HANDS HER TINY FEET IN HER CRIB LYING ON HER CUTE PINK SHEET.

HER HAIR WAS DASHING BLONDE  HER EYES SO BIG AND BLUE.
I HELD HER SO TIGHT AND KISSED HER HEAD AND KISSED HER HANDS AND KISSED HER TOES.

YES, THIS THIS LITTLE BABY HAD COME INTO MY LIFE, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT WOULD CHANGE, I WAS HER RESPITE CARER.
I CARED FOR HER AT WEEKENDS, PICKING HER UP ON FRIDAY AND TAKING HER BACK ON SUNDAY.

BUT THIS LITTLE PRINCES WAS SO SO SPECIAL ,MY PRINCES WOULD NEVER SEE BECAUSE SHE WAS BLIND, MY PRINCES WOULD NEVER SPEAK BECAUSE SHE HAD NO SOUND 
MY PRINCES WOULD NEVER SIT UP BECUSE SHE WAS PARAPLEGIC,  SHE WOULD NEVER, CRAWL OR WALK OR TELL YOU THAT SHE WAS HAPPY OR SAD, MY PRINCES
WOULD NEVER EAT OR DRINK LIKE OTHERS. 
THE DOCTORS SAID THAT SHE WOULDN'T LIVE FOR VERY LONG, YOU SEE HER TWIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS HAD ALREADY DIED, BUT I WHISPERED IN MY LITTLE PRINCES EARS THAT THE DOCTORS HAD LIED.

OUR WEEKENDS WERE FULL OF FUN, I TOOK HER TO MEET EVERYONE.
WHEELCHAIR,TUBES AND MEDICATION, DIDN'T STOP ME FROM HELPING HER TO JOIN IN.
FEEDING HER WAS DIFFICULT BUT I WOULD MASHED UP HER FOOD SO FINE , WE EVEN WENT TO RESTAURANT WHERE WE WOULD SIT DOWN AND DINE.

MANY ARGUMENT ON THE BUS, NO ROOM FOR WHEELCHAIRS SO I'D CUS.
MANY ARGUMENTS AT THE FAIR GROUNDS, NO RIDE FOR PRINCES COULD BE FOUND.
MANY TIMES WE COULD NOT GET IN, NO RAMPS, DOORS TO NARROW, TO MANY STEPS AND IT GOES ON.
IT GAVE ME SUCH AN INSITE WHAT  PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND ITS SO WRONG.

MY PRINCES LOVED HER MUSIC, YOU SEE HER HEARING WAS FINE,
SHE ALSO LOVED THE BOOKS I WOULD READ AT STORY TIME 
SHE WOULD LISTEN FOR A LONG WHILE AND THEN YOU WOULD SEE THAT SMILE

FOR MANY YEARS SHE STRUGGLED WHAT AN HONOUR TO BE IN HER LIFE
WHEN SHE REACHED THE AGE OF FOURTEEN SHE CAME TO THE END OF HER LIFE.
ALTHOUGH MY HEART WAS BROKEN EVERY THING FELT SO WEIRD AND SLOW, I WHISPERED IN HER EAR MY PRINCES ITS TIME FOR YOU TO GO.
I REMEMBER THINKING SHE CANT SEE, HOW CAN SHE GO TO THE LIGHT
I PRAYED TO THE LORD COME GET HER AND HOLD MY PRINCES TIGHT.

I KNOW MY PRINCES IS HAPPY, SHE CAN BE WHAT SHE WANTED TO BE 
I GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR SENDING HER AND SHARING HER LIFE WITH ME.
COULD NIGHT GOD BLESS MY PRINCES PHEOBE.
