The Girl Who Had Cancer

#weneedmorethanfour #gogoldforchildhoodcancer #gogreygogold

There was a child who lived ahead
A few streets away from mine
She had lovely hair and a big smile
She was everyone's darling sunshine
Every single day you could see her laugh
Boisterously spreading love around
Everything about her was serene
Her looks, her eyes and her sound
But one day I couldn't see her
And she wasn't around for a while
But even when she came back home
She had lost her infectious smile
She became very weak and pale
And there were golden strands everywhere
And when you picked them up and saw
They were her lovely hair!
There came a time when
she no longer could talk or even speak
She had become very thin and skinny
And you could see the bones on her cheek
There was nothing that could be done now
And she was tired of the long fight
Imagine being told that a four year old
Had passed away last night!
Medicines had now become her friends
And chemotherapy didn't make her hide
But we all knew no matter what
One way or the other, she would've died
And so I'll tell you the reason for her death
Because 0 per cent was her cure rate
And if you don't want one more like this
Stand up and donate!
