molly
gives us strength to carry on
little girl of four
should be the other way around
molly’s lost her hair
but not her smile
there’s this bug inside me you see
have to get rid of it
then my hair will grow
she dances for a little boy he’s sick too
did you vomit in school?
i did all over the floor
pet scan molly’s tears
i get bored lying still
soon be over pet
i’ll read you a story
mummy you should have another baby
if I’m not around you’ll have someone to love
mummy wipes her eyes guess what…
oh goody wherever I am I’ll watch over my little sister
molly goes to hospital
pink case barbie doll fairy wings a crown
operation’s over
exultation rogue cells dead
molly back at school
cradles little sister face aglow
shock relapse
molly smiles slips away
holding their hands
