Poetry From the Heart

Lay my Body Down

A small child, a girl, the age of four, once told her parents,

"Before I die, I’m gonna sing

I’m gonna dance,

and I’m gonna live like no tomorrow."

They thought this a deep thought for their little girl

But shrugged and said,

"Ok."

And thought no more about it

Ten years later, at the age of 14,

the parents heard the girl singing in the shower.

This was unusual.

For their little girl could not sing

Two years after that, aged 16 years,

they saw the girl

dancing in her room.

She could not dance.

At the age of 18,

the girl went skydiving,

and on the same day

she went mountain climbing

At the age of 38, she was infected with breast cancer

It spread to her heart,

and her lungs.

Her parents sat by her bed and cried.

As her pulse got weaker by the minute,

her parent’s cried more and more.

But she lay in her bed, motionless

smiling.

She started singing, weakly,

"I lived like there’s no more tomorrow.

I danced like noone was around.

I sang like noone’s listening.

And now I lay my body down. . ."

And then the not-so-little girl

died.

The doctors and parents swear they saw her soul go up to heaven.
