My Fears Poem by Juwon Daniel

My eyes fill with tears,
And I could hardly see;
This illness is stealing my sibling,
Slowly away from me.

I can't stand to see him suffer,
I pray his pain would go away;
His light inside him fades a little more
With every passing day.

Please give him the courage,
To fight a little longer
I feel so helpless now
What can I do to make him even stronger?

I can see it in his eyes
It's like he wants to give in;
the sickness CAN be fought,
so, you have to win.

Can't he see that we need him,
Shouldn't that be enough;
He has to think positive,
I know he is so tough.

I sit and think and think,
Until my head almost explodes;
Always the same question: why him?
But the answer is still untold.

I wish by some miracle,
His bad illness would just disappear;
And I could have him back
And there would be no more fears.
