Poems About
Health and
Sickness

Breanna is a cookie
tough and tender.
RETT Syndrome is the gift that makes her, her.
Even though we wish all were born well,
As she is, we do not think her ill,
Nor would we life bereft of her prefer.
None could teach us more of love and will,
As sweet Breanna sings of pain and
wonder.
