Real-life Stories
Laura's Story
There my Mother sat all in pain,
Wondering, will she ever see her little girl again.
Full of Cancer and tumours,
The little girl started to hear the rumours .
Was my Mummy dying,
If not, why was she crying?
Don�t cry Mummy, I said,
Not knowing that the cancer had spread,
What was cancer anyway? I�m just a little girl,
My head was all in a whirl.
My Mummy came in to say goodnight,
�We�ve got to get up early and bright.
We�re going to see the Doctor you see, �cause I�ve got an illness inside of me.�
It will be all better in the morning,
hopefully I will see the next day dawning.�
What did my Mummy mean, I wondered,
My Mummy�s strong, she will live until she�s 100.
Why are we going to the hospital Mummy?
She just said, �don�t worry hunny�.
�I�ve just got to have a few tests, you will see it will be for the best�.
Six months had past, my Mummy was better at last.
That night, I heard my Mummy talk to the man in the sky,
�Thank you God, for it is not my time to die.
I have my little girl you see, she�s like a beautiful growing tree.
Everlasting beauty, she is my little cutie�.
My Mummy kept to her word, thanks to Cancer Research.
