The Child

what is there to say

about a girl

a wee uan

who is seven years old today?

except three things?

1/ she is sick, and her doctors think she will die before christmas
2/ her fears are that that she will be forgotten?
3/ she looks forward to 'everything'

her name is mikayla francis, and whatever you do, wherever you go, remember that you
once were six, and the world nourished your small soul


she has said to her father
if you have another child,
will you tell her about me?
