Seven Hats

Seven hats on the dresser
One for each day of the week
A pretty scarf a friend gave her
A new dress that’s oh so chic
Makeup, favorite perfume
Eyelashes bought yesterday
She hopes her friends assume
She’s feeling fine today
Seven hats to choose from
The white one will be just fine
No one knows she feels numb
No one sees when she’s cryin’
She misses her mascara
Hairbrush and shampoo
It’s a trying, passing era
She’d like to bid adieu
Seven hats look so cheerful
She’s not feeling it today
Maybe she should cancel
Rain check for another day
Why did she accept it
A well meant invitation
Was fun what she expected
Or was it affirmation
A survivor affected
By chemo and radiation
Seven hats on the dresser
The white one will be just fine.

this song made it's appearance during October, Breast Cancer Month.
