Blues

"Blues" —Shreyas, 10

 

It's okay, if you're scared

Don't worry, there's no need to fear

Your friends and your family

Will help you through his tragedy

 

When I first found out

I was like, "oh no"

I was thinking "what happened?"

A nasty cough turned into a doctors call

 

They said I was okay

But my parents were worried

So my parents tried one last time

The X-ray showed it was lymphoma

 

They were sad, no one was glad

A few months later, it was gone

I was happy

Grey clouds moved on

 

It's okay, if you're scared

Don't worry, there's no need to fear

Your friends and your family

Will help you through this tragedy
