Written by a very thoughtful and talented friend. Sent to me as I'm lying in my hospital bed recovering from my op to remove ovaries and womb ... and annoying cancer!
She sits across the table from me
Chatting, smiling, drinking tea
She has no hair under the hat
The chemo took good care of that
Did I say she’s strong, I can’t remember
But you can tell she won’t surrender
She started something for Macmillan
I’m sure she could get half a million
Brave the shave she did start
For that cause close to her heart
Get her friends to shave their heads
Laughing and smiling, while she takes her meds
It didn’t matter that some amounts were modest
It all counted when paid as promised
And bit by bit that total grew
To what number no one knew
It didn’t matter just how much
Because many lives those donations will touch
She doesn’t complain and keeps going
Doing her thing keeping it growing
She sends me messages when I’m at the gym
But I’m forgetting it’s a hospital she’s in.
I help where I can as she has my admiration
For not complaining of a difficult situation
The disease she has is a tough one to beat
but does it know what it will meet.
We wish her well in every way
hoping She makes that disease pay
Well she’s strong and that’s a fact
And maybe sometimes it’s an act
But there she is across the table from me
Laughing joking and drinking tea

Stay positive beautiful people ❤ xx
