My Destiny
Warning: Content will be of an extremely weepy nature.
Today I got to work and began doing art with my children in my classroom when a teacher I used to work with stops by. She says, "Have you heard about Destiny?"
You see, Destiny is this beautiful five year old I've had the privelege of teaching for nearly two years before I moved into lead teaching in April. She's bright, beautiful, sweet...and stubborn as all get-out. To my horror, I discovered that sometime late last week she was hospitalized with encephalitis, cause still unknown. She was admitted in a nearly comatose state and with a temperature of 106 degrees. They induced her the rest of the way into a coma...
...and that's where she is right now, although the fever is breaking with assistance from what her mother calls "the blower." I can't express how much it hurts to see this kid, tiny and fragile and just beginning her life, hooked up to a respirator and a feeding tube along with all this other junk. She's got a long road ahead of her...
...but thank God for her stubborness. I pray that she is stubborn enough to fight back and get back to life and to us as soon as possible. At this point, we're worried if she will be ready for kindergarten when she wakes up...
...and what effect the fluid on her brain will have had. Her "soft spots" still have not completely closed, which is a bonus...
...and they didn't have to drain any fluid. These are both to her benefit.
Just pray for my Destiny. By day she's been "one of my kids" while in my classroom.
Destiny, Can You Hear Me?
Destiny, can you hear me?
Can you sing for me tonight?
Please tell me dear, sweet precious one
You are going to be allright.
God made you to be a butterfly
And to spread your wings and fly
Please open your eyes and hold my hand
And togther we'll touch the sky
Destiny, can you hear me?
Can you dance for me and play?
Please show me your brillant shining eyes
and smile for me today.
God brought you here and you've touched my heart
And He simply can't be through
In completing the beautiful, wonderful work
He started when he made you.
Destiny, can you hear me?
Can you sing with me tonight?
I brought my guitar and prayers and my love
And I have to believe He will make it all right.
God be with this little one today I pray
And hold her in your arms of love and care
Look, my dear Destiny, and tonight...
...I know the Lord will lead you back here.
