Katie Doty - Layla

Layla poem

There is an Angel on my shoulder.
She tells me to be brave.
I wish I could see and hold her,
I wish she was one they could save.

I remember her way back then,
During the first war she had.
When she became a bald veteran,
And was a cancer Olympiad.

Her battle ended, but her war continued,
So she went to her plan-holder.
She asked to be freed, to be renewed-
Now she's an Angel on my shoulder.
