It Wasn't Your Time.

A poem for a little girl I knew.. She died at 7 from cancer. She fought since she was born when her life was only supposed to last 6 months. RIP Hunter..

When you first woke up, 

You were already broken.

6 months was all that filled your cup.

You denied the gates of Heaven when they opened.

You were a sister and daughter.

Hunter, that was your name.

You never gave up, you were a fighter.

You told God he couldn't take you when he came.

You proved them wrong by 7 years,

But that still wasn't your time.

I remember you, a girl with no fears.

You shouldn't have left in your prime.

A very touching and powerful piece of poetry. This one started to bring tears to my eyes. I knew some kids with cancer, and it isn't fair that they would have to go through something so terrifying. The fact that little girl lasted all that time is a testament to the power of her spirit. You have done her justice with this poem. I know that somewhere in Heaven she is smiling at you.

This was very sweet and sad, as everyone else has said. Very nice tribute.

This is a touching poem. It's sad, yet I saw a small little message of hope in it. I probably sound stupid... but the fact that she lived well beyond her expected time shows that even at a young age she was a strong girl that fought until the end. It's sad that she had to leave this earth so young though. I love this poem. Keep up the good work.
