I came across this poem a few days back in 'The Telegraph'. Written by someone called Janhavi Malhotra from Chandigarh. Only child of her parents, this 14 year old is stricken with cancer. Her poems are remarkable...
"As I look into the mirror,What is it I see?
A familiar face, staring back at me.
It is the same face that everyone sees,
But as I gaze into her soul, I know there's more to me
The unspoken thoughts, the mindless fears
The truth and the lies, the uncried tears
The umpteen wishes to fly high,
The hopes and dreams to touch the sky,
Mirror Mirror on the wall, I ask
How do i look today?
The mirror doesn't reply.
But I start my day anyway."
I hope Janhavi recovers soon and wish she has a long, happy life.
