ODE TO SAINT BALDRICKS
Hair today, gone tomorrow, it’s pride before the bald,
Does vanity dare hold us back, shall we refuse the call?
Of God’s most precious children held in vicious grip
On the edge of eternity, we must not let them slip.
For they do suffer pain and sickness, their life a living hell,
Shall we not get a haircut to try and make them well?
If one of these were your own child, what exactly would you give
To slay this monster inside of them and give them a chance to live?
You’d give an arm, you’d give a leg, no price would be too high
To keep this child you love so much alive and let not die.
So do your part and dare to share like these children were your own,
And one day they might return the favor when they’re fully grown.
It’s on the wheel you know the deal we get just what we give,
So open that wallet and your heart with you they might just live.
Joel Emerson
St. Baldrick’s Organization donates more money to fight childhood cancer than anyone except the US government. People shave their head in solidarity with children fighting cancer and other folks (you) lend support by opening their wallets. Give like your life depends on it. One day it might.
