Staring at the books
Staring at the books for so many hours,
just to make a difference,
just to get the power.
To get the power to cure and heal,
to give hope to the hopeless,
to fix sickness with which no one can deal.
I dream that I may change the world,
Me a small town college girl.
Cancer will no longer dwell within,
so long that I create that longed for potion.
Through the hours of seminars and groggy nights,
the fretted tests and the many cups of caffeinated heaven.
I will one day be able to bring to the world of sickness
the wished for, hopeful light,
that which is my power to heal the sick with a favored quickness.
