All I have

My strawberry hair was all that I had
It hung below my shoulders
It's gone now and I'm sad
Though curling would take boulders

My mommy says it won't grow back
The doctors say so too
In my heart there is a crack
That can't be fixed by glue

It's called something I can't say
Mommy doesn't say it anymore
She says to live for every day
And run through every door

The other side of everything
Always seems so scary
But if you have a song to sing
And memories to carry

Then all you need is love
With love, you will pull through
And realize it's not hair you'll miss
But they'll be missing you

Now don't you worry about me
Because I'll be just fine
Knowing that they love me
It helps me every time

They promise they'll remember
And tell me not to cry
Before my next September
I'll be on the other side
