Cancer Hope

Her curly hair was long and bright
Until that sad and scary night
The cancer took it all away
Leaving her sick night and day
Doctors, IV’s, get well drugs
Kisses, wishes and tight hugs
Are taking over her life now
Wishing that one day somehow
Her life will be normal again
Going out with all her friends
Having fun, not being sick
Searching for a secret trick
That cures every boy and girl
Ending pain across the world
Caused by all this bad disease
She prays can someone help us please

This sad, but hopeful poem starts with an 8 count and ends with an 8. Between is what we all hope for cancer victims, expressed elegantly. I would, if the author would be inclined, like to see more of this little girl, portrayal, like you started in the first line...excellent.
