Beautiful brown eyes

And a smile that lights up your face

Even with tubes in your arms

You’re the princess of this place

You pretend you have flowing black hair

Even though the chemo has taken it all

As you dance in the court yard

It’s obvious you’re having a ball

Your portable monitor

Is your charming prince for the night

You dance away without care

Oblivious to your plight

A hospital gown supplants your royal robes

And this hospital is your castle

Ignoring the girl dancing in the yard

Walking hurriedly amongst the bustle

But there is a dragon in this tale

That is eating away at who you are

And there is no epic prince

To save you and take you to a land afar

This dragon will consume you one day

And all the people will cry for the princess

It will cause loneliness in their hearts

Because it is you they will miss

But in Heaven you will dance to your heart’s content

And smile at all with a smile so pure

Cancer won the battle, but not the war

For in death you found the ultimate cure

Many wars have been fought

Many mothers have cried

Over the haves and the have-nots

Many preachers have ignored

Many politicians have forgot

The chasm, the valley, the gorge

Between the haves and the have-nots

Many ignore a solution

Many have cast their lot

In the ongoing discussion

About the haves and the have-nots

There is One who will restore

The peace we have sought

He will one day end the war

Between the haves and the have-nots
