As I walked through the hospital corridors
I saw this child coming towards me
Her head was shaven and very red
She looked up and smiled at me
And made my hearts skip a beat.
In a voice so soft that I could hardly hear
She wished me joy and good cheer.
I knew right from the start that this child had a loving heart
For even though she was in pain
From everything that she had gone through
And it was hard for her to walk.
She stopped and started to talk.
She was born with a sickness at birth
And was daily fighting for her life
But she had such faith in god above
That she would be alright.
And knew that she had to fight this battle that they said she could not win
But to her-giving up was a sin.
I started to choke up inside and the tears started to roll from my eyes.
She gently wiped away my tears-and whispered gently in my ear.
If only the world could see and feel what I have locked up inside
That god has given me-there would be peace and harmony
For the lord has shown me what is on the other side when I die.
But! I will be here for a very long time.
For there are many hearts I’ve yet to touch before I am taken away
And true love will forever stay.
I started to choke up again-and when I looked up again she was gone.
Till this day I ask myself who could this child have been?
That put faith back in my heart and showed me.
The unconditional love from god above.
