she was born unable to see or hear
and had various health problems.
died at age six painfully.
why had this innocent child had to
endure such a horrible fate
when others have comparably
normal, full lives?
perhaps the fates are crueler
to some and kinder to others.
maybe a God has nothing to do
with these human conditions
and it’s all just random events
whether one is lucky or unlucky
in this transient life.
