Adam - a young boy and cancer
Adam was born with a pain under the knife
It eclipsed his days, darkened his life
He fought and fought, but couldn't win
He was out numbered, the enemy within
He had courage and spirit, but it wasn't enough
The cancer had already eaten him up
His life ended at the age of nine
Another battle lost in the war of time
