smile

she was frail

easily broken

a grown up

in a little girls body

she was wise beyond her age

small

wraped up in fantasies

she knew would never come true

she knew it was comeing

and the best she could do

was smile

it made evryone else happy

seeing her smile

sitting there in her hospital gown

they smiled at her

brought her jello

tried to make her forget

but dying

isnt something you easily forget

it isnt easy

to smile

to laugh

to play

but thats what they want

isnt it

to pretend nothings wrong

so she smiled

and she laughed

and she played

and with her last breath

her last second

thats just what she did

she laughed

she was beyond her years

and taken before her time

but she died smileing

the way she lived

Great poem

[Arabdha]

this one is so passionately written..capturing the sadness beneath the smile..
