Hey Everyone,
Here is an original I wrote and composed for my daughter's 11 year old friend who was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma (A type of Bone Cancer). She has been having chemo for the last year or so. Shes doing pretty good and her last chemo is next week.
So, I worked with my daughter and we wrote this song for her to help her get over the hump and on the road to recovery!
My daughter had a few of her friends come over to help sing some parts!
I hope you like the tune!! In the chorus I refer to a redhead. The girl is a redhead and her name is Danielle.

Thanks Jimmerwoo! We thought ballad at first but decided on a "pick me up" song!!! A little more upbeat!

Sorry Rod, I listened to this when you first posted it and never got the chance to comment on it.
Your song gave me goosebumps listening to it. This deserves 5 stars!:thumb: Please keep us updated on how Danielle is doing!:)

Thank you so much everybody for the comments and the listen!!
Danielle is doing OK. Her counts are low right now but that was expected witth the last chemo.
She should be on the road to recovery soon!!

They say that music heals all! this was a very sweet gesture and must have been a very special suprise for Danielle. Good on you and your kids for helping out a friend in need. She has my best wishes too for her speedy recovery.

What a cool song! I wasn't expecting to hear something like this.
I can't imagine what I would do if one of my kids got sick like that. All the best Danielle!
