Cancer Babies

Young, innocent and carefree, carrying heavy burdens not even adults could bear, The plague of a deadly disease, The cancer babies fight courageously, oblivious to the outcomes, Their tiny bodies become ravaged by the effects of chemo and testing, Yet, they still manage to be joyful blessings, accepting their fates valiantly, while their parents wallow in the catastrophe of their illnesses, They harness wisdom far beyond their years smiling all the way through, battling without regrets and tears, Too young to fear the unknown, The little ones quietly concede to the pain that haunts them........ Some, turn the corner and find a new day, While others succumb to the weariness, making their time on earth supernaturally special.....
