Dear Serenity

Dear Serenity,

It's sunrise and I'm watching you watch the orange-blue sky and you sigh, kind of biting the inside of your lip
You yawn running you slender fingers through your mane of curly brown hair
All I can do is stare, as the hem of your oversized shirt rises above your hip
You catch me staring and smile! Now its my turn to bite my lip
I place my hand on your hip and let my other one "slip" under your shirt Instead of feeling silky velvet under my skin I feel a lump.....
Telling you about it hurt, cause I quickly pull down your shirt and stare only to be met with tears
See now you making me cry
You wanted to be a dancer but just as you got started they diagnosed you with breast cancer
Ever since you ain't been the same
I see you sit at the window and cry everytime it rains
it hurts to see such a beautiful Angel fall
Now I'm scared that I'll get a call telling me you're gone
And just because chemo doesn’t guarantee you’ll be healed that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try
cause God does do miracles
You have every right to be scared and afraid but smile through the pain
Rain doesn’t last all night there is joy in the sunlight
All of this is running through my head as I lay next to you in your hospital bed
Tears falling down my cheeks onto your sheets
You look so fragile and worn and my heart is shattered and torn
Doctors in my ear telling me reminding me that
soon you’ll be gone
I remember how when you were first diagnosed you said you wanted to fly
But then you hated yourself for thinking that  
cause that meant us saying good-bye
But now it’s okay I want you to fly
And it’s not good-bye Cause i’ll see you again …..just give it time

                                   Love,
                                         Thyme
