I Have A Friend

I have a friend,

I won't say her name.

She has stage 4 Ovarian Cancer--

But she works and acts the same.



She has a sharp, sarcastic wit--

I haven't known her very long,

But those that know me know

That's probably why we get along.



She is strong and brave--

But vulnerable and scared,

She'll punch your throat out in a minute--

But everyone knows she really cares.



Though she has a lot

To dwell on--

Her work is top notch, but

Get her near a computer--it's gone.



I'm glad she is my friend--

We zing each other a lot,

I'm just plain mouthy,

While she's a "mess that's hot".
