A Poem For Morgan Poem by Rhonda Moody

The First poem I wrote for Morgan
when she was diagnosed with a cancerous
brain tumor.



A child lies in her bed
so still because she's ill;
no interest in what goes on around her.

Such a horrible thing for anyone to have,
and her being three really makes this sad.
The doctors are working to find a cure.
How could this happen to one so sweet and pure?

The family all torn up inside
their feelings of sorrow they try and hide.
They surround this precious child and hold back their tears
as they try and make her smile.

'The doctors are trying to help you' they say
as little Morgan just looks away;
No talking, no playing, not the same girl they know–
Just a face of sorrow and the pain that she shows

What can they do, what can they say
to make her pain just go away;
She's already been through so much
and yet the Cancer has hardly been touched

Dear God in Heaven above,
please give us your blessing
and show us your love.

We know only you
have the power to heal Morgan.
She is your child and we ask you please,
Let us keep her awhile.
