Chloe’s eight
Sweet child, lovely smile
eternal optimism, and
stage four cancer
in her brain and spine
No, it’s not fair
Chloe knows that
She still believes in miracles
and hasn’t given up
Nor should we
Look into her sparkling brown eyes
So much life, speaking through them
telling us there’s something more powerful
than the hideous beast
feeding on her precious life energy
In all this
so much unexpected hope
from what seems so hopeless
From all this
life becomes even more special
Poetic Alchemist
