Smiling faces. Shining heads.
Gazing out from well-made beds.
Parents with an anxious look.
One kind word was all it took.
Brothers and sisters affected too.
And no-one knowing what to do.
Doctors, nurses and caring folk
Will sometimes stop to share a joke.
Always there’s that question ‘Why?’
And please don’t say my child might die.
Hope and courage by the ton
For battles lost and battles won.
