The Original Five Poem by Victoria Gauci

We can't lose him, we're not ready,
When I speak, it's for the whole family,
He's still young, and deserves to live longer,
God give us strength, and help make us stonger,
We are five and it's always been so,
To take one away, would be a big blow,
We've been held together by this incredible bond,
Contained as one like the edges of a pond,
Please make him well, so that he'll remain,
As part of our family, cause it wouldn't be the same,
You must grant this prayer for us to survive,
Please help us continue as the original five.
