Small hands joined in a prayer so big
Parents pray with heads bowed
For the healing of their daughter
Life lived in precious moments
Pain’s visitation upon their adored child
Brought grief like a stone upon their hearts
Illness had been an unwelcome companion
But their child had shown grace in
The midst of her suffering
Without complaint or asking why
She faced each day with a smile
Giving sunshine to days so dark
Lessons taught by their child
On how to face adversity
Were learned at the foot of a hospital bed
