seven years old
the heartwrenching sickness began
eight years later its over
he's gone
it took a special boy
but it did not win
he left this world loved
a whole towns heart with him
it did not steal his hope
it did not win
he did not retreat
he pulled a town together
made them realize life is short
but death does not win
