Here is her poem:
I felt really ill one day.
So, my parents took me away.
I was in the emergency room,
It had a very odd fume.
When my family arrived,
We hoped I was still alive.
My Mom checked me in,
So, I could go to my room then.
I was scared of the needles,
They stung like a beetle.
I was in such doom,
My heart went BOOM BOOM BOOM!
I was only year four,
I wanted to walk out the door.
My life turned into a mess,
But I gave no fuss.
I had to stay hydrated so I drank from my cup,
And I dared to give up.
In my hospital bed I would lay,
The only thing I could do was pray.
I thought my life had ended,
But my family's faith hadn't ended.
The doctor's told me to what I could only cope,
All I gave was my great hope.
I still have a fear,
I pray for just a cure.
God wouldn't let me give up,
So I chose to get up.
I stayed brave,
For I was saved.
As long as the wait,
There is still always strength.
I had been diagnosed with a deathly disease,
Called Type 1 diabetes.
I still had my friends,
I knew it was not the end.
