Bald Lady

Have you ever seen a bald lady?
Who smiles as sweet as a candy?
She’s shy like a Tarsier
But loves to volunteer

She’s a strong fighter
A fight with only few answers
She takes lots of therapy
And writes each down in her diary

One day she was called
Ugly, round, bald
But her face was smiling
Because she knows who’s winning

In the Hospital she laughed
Together with her family and the staff
With their tears flowing
And a cancer free life glowing
