Amazing.

I thought I was done posting for today, until I got on facebook and saw this link posted by my friend Julie....and I just had to share.

This is an AMAZING song....an AMAZING tribute....for an AMAZING woman. A strong amazing woman diagnosed with breast cancer the same day she found out she was pregnant....a strong amazing woman I have known for years....played volleyball with.....and still continue to be inspired by her and her journey. Although I only saw her or her family occassionally after high school......her leaving this life has affected me greatly....and although her body is gone....her spirit lives on in many hearts.....and she has done GREAT things! Jenny....you are and continue to be, an inspiration to many! Thank You.

The Lyrics.....

BOMSHEL - Fight Like A Girl lyrics

Little girl alone on the playground
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around
Wishin' she was invisible
To them

She ran home cryin
'"Why do they hate me?"
And Mama wiped the tears and said
"Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful.
So, hold your head high.
Don't ever let 'em define
The light in your eyes.
Love yourself, give them Hell.
You can take on this world.
You just stand and be strong
And then fight
Like a girl.

"At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin'
Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'
She was never gonna one of the boys, no
She coulda gave up on her ambition
And spent the rest of her life just wishin'
Instead she listened to her mama's voice sayin'

"Hold your head high.
Don't ever let 'em define
The light in your eyes.
Love yourself, give them Hell.
You can take on this world.
You just stand and be strong
And then fight
Like a girl.

"Oh, with style and grace
Kick ass and take names

Ten years of climbin' that ladder
Oh, but money and power don't matter
When the doctor said "the cancer spread"
She holds on tight to her husband and babies
And says "this is just another test God gave me.
And I know just how to handle this

"I'll hold my head high
I'll never let this define
The light in my eyes
Love myself, give it Hell
I'll take on this world
If I stand and be strong
No, I'll never give up
I will conquer with love
And I'll fight like
Like a girl

Ooh
