Flashback


Flashback to 1st Grade,

Little girl couldn't hear a thing,

Folks thought that she was an attention craver, a liar, a faker;

'Til they took her to the doctor,

Where they found out that this little girl had a tumor,

A vicious tumor, that was a life craver, a killer, a taker.

The surgery was set,

The family went home,

Folks couldn't believe the fate of their little girl could be so unknown.

Flashback to the first surgery,

A little girl so terrified,

Folks couldn't calm her down with stuffed animals, candy, or love,

Even if they tried.

All they could do was watch their little girl go under the knife,

And pray that they didn't wait too long that it would steal her life.
