An Angel's Winning Team

My friend, Debbie, she was so spirited and free willed

Could do nothing but succeed, energy, beauty, exciting

Found out two years ago, she had breast cancer, strength

Be it, she was going to prove to conquer this evil inside

Her children, her pride, a true hero, her friends stood by

An athlete indeed, volleyball, baseball, always on the winning team

Then suddenly, the unfortunate news, it spread, doctor's said she must have it removed

Always so proud, but not too proud to have the surgery that might save her life

Her boys had a benefit for the cure at their school, a volleyball game for the cure

A year passed by, things seemed real fine, then another appointment would be a blur

Spreading to her lungs, bone, and then to her head, more chemo, lost hair, so much to bear

It's been a year ago now, a frosty autumn night, you could feel in the air the scare

A benefit dance and auction took place on the very night she passed

Her friends and family had made a great success, over thirty thousand raised to pay the bills

All I can say is I miss her today, a guard dressed in his uniform stood infront of her coffin

She was a proud state employee of the local corrections, a strong woman, a security guard

Her strength will always remain in her love of her boys and her husband with pride

A cry for help, let's put this disease out of it's misery, no one will forget you

We praise you, your courageous fight, and honorable mention for being a woman

The angels in heaven are now on your team

Debbie, we love you today, and tomorrow and always
