A girl of stone goes out to war

she does not know what she is fighting for

It is not a war that can be seen

but her struggle for life can be felt

Watch her crumble, watch her cry

watch her time just tick on by

but still she stands once more

still not knowing what she's fighting for

she must conquer and defeat

and yet another battle she must beat

this war is not over, not by long

but she knows that she must be strong

strong for those who love her and strong for those who stand beside her

and though at times it's hard to bear

she still stands tall, humble yet fair

for she is the girl of stone and she knows she does not fight alone

because the ones who love her and the ones who care

stand arm in arm, her burden to share

Oh Girl of Stone, hear our words

wrap your arms around us like faithful girds

dont give up for soon you'll see

that in due time you'll be set free

your horrid curse shall soon release

and you will be rid of this scary beast

Oh Girl of Stone, heed once more

we stand before you

to show you what your fighting for 


The author's comments:

I was inspired to wright this by my best friend whom was in a battle with a rare cancer. She was young yet so strong. The strongest I had ever seen. I wanted to show her that she was not alone in her battle and that her family and friends were always beside her in support. By the time I finished I wanted to read it to her so much, but the last time I was able to see her was in the hospital while she was sedated to reduce her pain. I wasn't able to read it to her but I hope her strength and spirit lives on in my words in a way to somehow inspire people who are also in a battle with cancer and to let them all know that they are not alone in their fight. Your friends and your family are here to support you.
