Instead of joy and happiness
Comes pain and suffering.
The changes are first in flesh
Shadows cast across the skin.
Then as you slowly lose your fight
You spirit soars free
Now you are a whisper in the wind
A breath in the stillest of nights.
A champion for those left behind
A symbol of hope and courage
A dream of a better place
All these thing you are and were
And so much more you be
But one constant shall remain
You are my child and me.
