CAMELOT FANTASIES

A pretty young girl once made a promise
To her pretty young best friend
They were only ten
To be together forever
One would apply make up and the other style hair
They had a strong bond since the age of five
Laughed and giggled playing at
Their dreams and what they wanted to strive
Illness struck the one young friend
Her need to hide her balding head under a scarf
While plaiting her best friends hair
Saying one day my hair will be as long as yours
Every couple of months she was rushed to the hospital
The pain was so intense
Throughout all she experienced
She smiled and kissed a picture of mother Mary
That particular Christmas
She was being rushed to the hospital again
This angelic beings face glowed
Smiled weakly and said with certainty
No need to rush
I'm going home today
There I don't feel pain
My hair is long again
Mother Mary came with angels, she said
It was Christmas Day so long ago
Today I came across a picture of us playing
She's sent me a sign
A must for me to realign
Smiling as Samantha did
This memory felt like yesterday
Lighting a candle for her miraculous appearance
As I whispered I love you my friend
