Born to be angels

These children are happy they cannot be dying

 

Pain has been all they know how can they still smile

I hold back my tears and watch them at play

 

No cares or signs of sorrow do they show

 

Brave as they stand in the shadow of death

 

I question my faith as my heart bleeds for thier families

 

if i could give them my life I would

 

As theirs will soon be cut short

 

staring through puppy dog eyes,they fear no evil

 

I pray someone got it wrong, but to no avail

 

For they are the terminally ill and were BORN TO BE ANGELS
