maddie

Her laughter was a melody that could brighten any room,
A sudden burst of summer sun that chased away the gloom.
With eyes that held the starlight, and a grace so soft and rare,
A beautiful, enchanting soul—but bound to pain’s cruel snare.
​Too often came the shadows, a heavy, throbbing crown,
That pulled the curtains on her world and turned it upside down.
A cruel and constant rhythm beating fierce behind her brow,
That stole the color from her day, though none could quite say how.
​She’d retreat into the quiet, where the world was dim and still,
Battling through the silent hours on sheer and stubborn will.
But pain, though fierce and isolating, no longer walks alone,
For a gentle shield has risen from a distance quite unknown.
​Across the rolling ocean, past the waves and stormy sea,
In a quiet room a world away, a guardian chose to be.
A spirit bound by care and love, though miles stretch wide and far,
Watching over every ache beneath the evening star.
​With every heavy heartbeat, and each whisper of despair,
The angel sends a quiet breeze, a soft and healing prayer.
A wave of calm across the deep, to soothe her burning eyes,
To wrap her in a warm embrace beneath the distant skies.
​The headaches still may visit, but their power starts to wane,
Knowing someone across the sea is sharing in her pain.
For love can cross the oceans, through the dark and through the air,
And she is safe, and beautiful, within her angel's care.
