To The Children of Saint Jude’s

All you ever have to do is look into those eyes

And a million inspirations flood your soul.

All the hope and wide-eyed wisdom

Reflected in a smile

Of a child whose fate is destined to unfold.

And you see behind the curtain

All the pain that is denied

As they suffer to find hope and hold on tight.

Another day is another gift,

Another battle to be won

To take away the darkness from their light.

 

Surrounded by the ones they love

And ones who come to love them,

Given every hope there is to give.

No false expectations,

Knowing all the odds,

They only seek the opportunity to live.

 

And many here will overcome

The demons that have plagued them

And leave to grow and fill their hearts desire.

And those who fought the valiant fight

And lost their final battle

Are heroes in the hope that they inspire.
