'Grass Shack Salon"

True story about my friend next door.

"Grass Shack Salon"

My neighbor is a special friend

She always thinks of me

Coffee and prayers we often share

 Sometimes we snorkel in the sea

 She was happy to have her guest  

When she got a doctor's call

"You have Cancer" he sadly said

We prayed together had to bawl

Now with the dreaded chemo

It seems so very cruel

Her friends all got together

Made a love quilt, it's a jewel

  

 Signed by quilter friends 

From Hula and Bible study

Words of strength and hope

For our very special buddy

 

So now her hair is falling fast

With chunks left in her hand

It doesn't feel that this is right

Yet seems this is God's plan

  

There is help with lots of hats

Scarves are fine but not a wig

Good thing we're not drinkers

Cause this makes us want a swig

 

"Come to the Grass Shack Salon

  I'll grab the clipper, help you fight"

She prayed and I shaved her head

    With God by our side it'll be all right   

 

She asked "Can you do this?

You don't have to go this length" 

I said "I can do all things

Through Him who gives me strength"

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.

Thank you Captain Don, You know I'm new to writing poems, you and Barbara along with my friend Eileen have helped me very much thank you. I'm enjoying the ride, I keep waking up with rhymes in my head, guess I've been bitten by some kind of bug.
