RIP Dame Deborah James #Bowelbabe
A very sad day has come
as a brave lady loses her fight for life
Known as Bowelbabe to the world
also a daughter, sister, mother and wife
By sharing her own experiences
she broke down many barriers
Her aim to challenge taboos
and change the conversation around cancer
She leaves behind a great legacy
one that will save lives for years to come
In the final weeks of her young life
raising an astronomical sum
Even in the most challenging moments
always wearing the brightest smile
Her campaign to raise awareness
carried out with inspirational style
Praised by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
made a Dame for all she achieved
For her tireless efforts and giving hope
to those living with the disease
Her final message to us all
a wise and most important one too
Live a life full of love and hope with no regrets
and always check your poo
