A PonyGirl Signature




    

One year ago she found it, a tiny little lump
She never gave a second thought, no time for any slump

A husband and three children were always on her mind
Any thoughts about herself, she chose to leave behind

Christmas at the beach last winter, such a happy time
Life for them so rich and full, everything was fine


Only two weeks later her health began to fail
Weak and always tired, looking thin and pale

She went to see a Doctor the prognosis was so grim
Immediately radiation and the chemo. would begin

Hair fell out in gobs she laughed at all the change
Anything but lovely, for her would be so strange

One morning she awoke and found three remaining hairs
Decided she would braid them with a happy air
She went about her day smiling at people everywhere

Next morning she awoke to find just two hairs remained
Decided to wear piggy tails and cheer the world again

Next morning she looked in the mirror to find a single hair
A pony tail for me today is what I'll choose to wear

She spent each day so full of smiles, showed people life and love
Her fading health ignored, God confidence rose above

The fourth day she jumped out of bed; giving her pain no care
Looked into the mirror to see; now she had no hair

She smiled warm and bright in such a cheerful way
Said its fun for me , I don't have to do hair today

This smiling, cheerful mommy lived only ten more weeks
 Cherishing her family with kisses on their cheeks

They know she is in Heaven, just out of their reach
They think of her together on the pretty beach

Daddy always there for them every night and day
With their love, and help from Jesus they know they will find a way

They gave their lives to Jesus and they know someday
In Heaven with their Mommy, someday again they'll play

*Authors note: The picture from Pony girl and a story from the Dr. Laura Slesinger radio program inspired me to write this poem.
I didn't experience this situation but I have friends dealing with breast cancer now. I am praying for them.
