Hayleigh

The little girl that loves to smile,
was forced to grow beyond her years,
even so, she has not guile,
though her mother has cried too many tears.

Blood sugar checks done everyday,
some insulin to ease her strife,
they wish there was another way,
Type 1 diabetes is a way of life,

So they bow their heads at night to pray,
That someone might just find a cure,
so that little girl can run and play,
a childhood is their wish for her,

That little girl that loves to smile,
is more than just a girl these days,
she fights her fight, and wins with style,
even so, her mother still prays.
