Dream like your going to live a lifetime, But live like you will die tomorrow.
Big white smile,
  Happy eyes,
and a kind heart.

        This little girl never weeps,
      even though she knows her death creeps.

  She is beautiful,
with or withour hair and nails,
          sitting on the cold blue hospital sheets,
                        at the age of ten.

Always strong
          for her family.
    She tells them she'll be okay.
Her view of life is what makes her, her.

  That little girl had the ability to say,
"I will help a little girl just like myself someday because my body helped find her a cure."
      She has set an example;
              Taught me to be thankful.

Only three months after they found the tumor, she passed away with one piece of advice for all of us;

                      Dream like your going to live a lifetime

                              But live like you will die tomorrow.
