She coughed!
She sighed!
She writhed in pain!
All treatments seemed vain!

It was back….

With a vengeance!
It slowly melted her frame!
It snatched her life like a game!

She fought till she breathed!
She was brave!
She shed no tears of anger!
It engulfed her in it’s wave!

Oxygen tube to aid her!
The nurse in waiting beside her!
With forlorn looks she observed…

The moods of all those around her!

With effort she uttered words!
She missed her pretty dark mane!
And one day, without any words….

She bid us a goodbye
