Time slows down its pace
Your outrageous smile and head devoid of hair
Reveals an innocence beyond compare
As you jump on me
Into my pockets to see
What I got for you
I realize already have everything that’s beautiful and true
Small you look, but mature beyond your peers
You have wrung happiness out of tears
And wisdom out of fears
Much you have achieved in your fragile years
I marvel at your inner drive
We strive to live but you live to strive
Yes, you have cancer in your blood and bone
But your attainment is your own
Your courage I have always hailed
You of boundless greatness
You of inner magnificence
You have triumphed over humanity when your elders have failed
