There once was a woman with big perky breasts
Then cancer came and left a flat chest
Then chemotheraphy was what it’s about
And very soon her hair all fell out
Then doubt and self-pity turned into fear
And she couldn’t stand to look in the mirror
Then she looked and said “what the hell”
I don’t feel whole, I’m just a shell
Then anger sparked the will to fight
A war against cancer that had no right
There’s purpose in life with so much to do
To give in to cancer and just say I’m through
There is life to live and memories to make
Children to love and cookies to bake
So keep up the fight and never give in
This is your life you’re in it to win
Believe in yourself and encourage others
The wives, daughters, sisters and mothers
To all the women who have to endure
Don’t give up hope there will be a cure
