I saw her bright smile
Heard her joyous laugh
Watched her play around
Without a care in the world

It was a great scene
So much that my eyes watered
But I can't cry
Not in front of her

The next day
I was so happy
To see her still playing around
Not at all affected by anything

But fear crept its way to my heart
Until when would she be able to play?
When will time cease for her?
When will her body stop?

The following days was a blur
With her being happy
With nothing stopping her
It was still good

But all things has an end
What I fear happened
Her body starts giving up
Leaving her with nothing

Hope was our only strength
As doctors tried to heal her
As tubes were attached to her
As the happiness she once had evaporates

As time passes
The hope we had
Starts diminishing
Until it's gone

She grew worse
That even muttering words
Or staying awake
Gets more tiring

But what broke me
Is when her heart stopped beating
Doctors, nurses rushed to her
Everyone trying to save her

But it's too late
"Time of death
3:00 pm."
They said

I burst into tears
She's gone
I looked at her
And saw...

She's smiling
