• The girl with no hair stands in front of a crowd of skeptics.
    Here goes her self esteem, they all think.
    But she keeps her head up high,
    And walked with her enemies,
    Arm-in-arm,
    Link-in-link.

    The boys around stare.
    Looking at the girls with nothing else but baby blue eyes.
    Some wonder how she survives,
    Others wonder if she dies.

    The girls lets go of her enemies' hands
    And wanders up to the boy she loved the most.
    He became drunk at the sight of her,
    And wondered if he was overdosed.

    He shook his head in amazement.
    She had been pretty before, with her pretty red curls.
    But now, with a tumor in her brain and her head without hair,
    She was better than the other girls.

    He took her in an embrace
    And kissed the top of her head.
    Quietely he whispered in her ear,
    "You have always been beautiful
    But I've been blind to see.
    My darling, how I would have dread
    If they had said you were dead."

    She keeps her head high to this day.
    And she waits for her soul mate in heaven.
    Secure, happy, and safe.

    In Loving Memory Of Laura Kauffman.
