Sarah Beth is scared to death,
To hear what the doctor will say,
She hasn't been well,
Since the day that she fell,
And the bruise, it just won't go away,
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad,
And flips through an old magazine,
Til the nurse with a smile,
Stands at the door,
And says,"Will you please come with me,"
Sarah Beth is scared to death,
Cause the doctor just told her the news,
Between the red cells and white,
Someting's not right,
But we're gonna take care of you,
Six chances in ten it won't come back again,
With the therapy we're gonna try,
It's just been approved,
It's the strongest there is,
And I think we caught it in time,
And Sarah Beth closes her eyes,
She dreams she's dancing,
Around and around without any cares,
And her very first love is holding her close,
And a soft wind is blowing her hair,
Sarah Beth is scared to death,
As she sits holding her mom,
Cause it would be a mistake,
For someone to take,
A girl with no hair to the prom,
For, just this morning right there on her pillow,
Was the cruelest of any surprise,
She cried as she gathered it up in her hands,
The truth that she couldn't deny,
And Sarah Beth closes her eyes,
She dreams she's dancing,
Around and around without any cares,
And her very first love is holding her close,
And a soft wind is blowing her hair,
It's quarter to seven,
That boy's at the door,
And her daddy ushers him in,
As he takes off his cap,
They all start to cry,
Cause this morning where his hair had been,
Softly she touches just skin,
And they go dancing,
Around and around without any cares,
And her very first true love is holding her close,
And for a moment, she isn't scared

You know me Morgan......I'm sobbing. This story is about love for others and real compassion. It really touched me. Now I have to fix my face again before I head to church.
I wasn't being anonymous Morgan. I'm your mom.
