Not ment to be
Sick child,nearly six year old;
Screams in pain, can not touch her;
Her eyes in daylight, can not bear it;
Closed curtains, parents in fear;
Quick to hospital, many examinations;
The insecurity, what can be wrong;
Their only child, twinbrother died;
Innocent and pure, in his mothers tummy;
His sister, slow start, emotional child;
Often sick, depending on her parents;
A lot of contact, with her dead brother;
Her bound with the earth, not so strong;
Sensitive, intelligent, very wise soul;
To old for her age, to young to die;
Tumor behind intestines, diagnose cancer;
Radiotherapy, it is not operable,
The struggle for live, still hoping;
Body tired, the soul longing for rest;
