two in a month
friends gone forever
one week apart
today I heard
that she passed
cancer the horror
tears came to me
doctors said four
to six months
but didn't last a week
I worked with them
those two beautys
sweet human dolls
we laughed and joked
most of all we talked
both affecting me
in different styles
both kept coming
until too weak
courage what strength
facing this scourge
with smiles and wit
and warmth always
their wig covered love
will stay with me
how can I complain
I am still here.....
