He lay shattered and beaten
Why had this world been so cruel?
No matter how hard he battled
It would never be enough
The enemy was far too strong for his frail body to handle
He dares to smile
His mind reminisces over the times he smiled, laughed and loved
The times he was scared, depressed and didn't know what to do
He opens his eyes
Takes a breath
Looks to his left
Straight into my eyes
Motions for me to come closer
And whispers only 4 words
I'm proud of you
And closes his eyes
They would never open again
His mind finally at rest
The cancer was finally defeated
