There comes a time when the world needs to know
Just how much sorrow a little girl can hold
With un-shushed tears she closes her door
Back to the room where she cries in horror
The person she thought would lead her through life
The reality of the truth worse than the blade of a knife
Cold and still did that woman lie on her bed
The bed that lead to anguish and dread
How could this little girl live without her mother?
Sure, she had her father and brother
But this woman was to care and to hold
To help this girl grow and to mold
Into a beautiful young woman she should have become
But now unknown due to her state of numb
Through thick and thin is what the two said
But that was before the cancer spread.
