I met childhood cancer face to face. This disease gives no grace. Although it tried with all its might, It could not dim this beauty's light. God stamped her with a trademark grin, That draws many in to be her friend. Spunky, ornery, and oh so very sweet, To watch her was quite a treat. Her soul is much wiser then her mine. Her eyes reassure me everything will be fine. There's a brave warrior within, This battle she and God will win.
