A Brave Woman

I know of a woman who overcame cancer To live she had the great desire She has beaten something that has killed many And she is one I can't help but admire. Radiation treatment has left her as bald as a baby But she feels that is quite okay She says I would rather be living without hair on my head Than with the dearly departed now lay. She is such a marvellous person To help others she goes out of her way She now sees life as far more precious And she makes the most of every day. I find people like her inspiring And one I feel privileged to know She could feel negative as many in her shoes would And my admiration for her only grow. I know one who has beaten cancer One who has no wish for to die A woman in her mid to late fifties And she loves life and living she enjoy.
