Last Wish

by Akifah Abdin aged 10

She sat in bed thinking,
it was all she could ever do
THINK.
She knew it was Christmas.
She couldn’t speak, eat normally and was deaf
”Don’t worry Isabella.” said her mum
who was the merriest person she knew.
The next day she ate an apple,
SHE COULD EAT
She heard carols being sung
SHE COULD HEAR
She could say her breakfast order when her mum took her out to eat
SHE COULD SPEAK
”A Christmas miracle,” she said, laughing
