Cindy is Smiling


Today, my best friend Cindy went to her first chemo treatment, with war paint on her face, her daughter's lucky unicorn in hand and a smile that never faded. 
After 30 years of friendship, she is teaching me more today then ever before.


I'm so tired when my alarm goes off, why did I go to bed so late?
Cindy is smiling.
I missed my streetcar and I now I have to stand in the rain,
Cindy is smiling.
There are no seats left so I have to stand the whole way to work,
Cindy is smiling.
There's so much bloody traffic and now I'm going to be late,
Cindy is smiling.
It's so busy today I have no time to take a break,
Cindy is smiling.
It took me over an hour to get home,
Cindy is smiling.
There's so many dishes in the sink and I still have laundry to do,
Cindy is smiling.
My hockey team lost the game,
Cindy is smiling.
There's nothing on tv,
Cindy is smiling.
