Too sick to eat, too sick to play Tears flow down her cheeks today Some pain relief, she still cries Looking so sad, big watery eyes She see the others having fun Says today her 'legs can't run' A warm blanket, a big hug A warm drink, her favourite mug The doctor calls, checks her chest Prescribes medicine, lots of rest I stroke her hair, she naps awhile When she wakes, I see her smile\n\nMargaret O Driscoll
