God,
I'm writing this letter
Cause the innocence of my niece doesn't know any better
She's almost three
She don't know what's going down
She still smiles, while the rest of us frowns
Tell me why her?
And why not me?
I know she's strong, but I still don't see
Maybe it's the tears
Maybe it's the fear
Maybe it's cause I might not see her next year
I'm trying to be positive
But even you would fail
The negative thoughts they begin to prevail
But I prayed last night
Don't take her away
Let her see tomorrow and a million other days
She's an angel
She's brighter than the sun
I know you have the power to stop what's begun
But will you?
Will you even read this?
I don't want her to be a person I miss...


God,
I'm writing this letter
In hopes that you'll make this all better
My niece, she's two
She's still running around
She still smiles, while our tears hit the ground
Tell me why her?
And why not me?
I know she's strong, but I lose hope easily
Maybe it's the pain
Maybe it's the rain
Maybe it's too hard to maintain
I'm trying to smile
But even you would grin
The swarm of bad thoughts come once again
But I prayed last night
Did I persuade your ways?
Let her see tomorrow and her 91st birthday
She's an angel
She's brighter than the moon
I know you have the power to stop all this gloom
But will you?
Take her off the list
I don't want her to be a person I miss...
So recently I was hit with the news that my youngest niece was diagnosed with leukemia. A million thoughts were running through my head, but the one that shinned the most was anger. How could someone so young have to go through with something like this...so I wrote this letter in hopes that I would be heard...

I'm not big on God...not going to lie I probably wouldn't of looked had the title not got me curious. But I'm going to try to pray for you, pray for the first time in a while. Because I lost someone close me to leukemia and I would hate for you to do the same..
