Nine years old
With a burden to big to bare
A major operation
Four doctors would have to share
Seven hours of hope
Stitched in with care
A young girls dilemma
Unsure of the aware

A touch and go situation
Delicate and fine
Rearranging the the vertebrae
So they would align
No mistakes allowed
Or they would resign
To the young one's fate
And a crippled spine

The prognosis looks good
The tests have been done
Only room for improvement
For this tender young one
There's good feelings here
There's good feelings there
Highlighting the amazing skills
Of the people who care.......
