Adrian’s Fight

In the journey of life, we face twists and turns,

Ups and downs, lessons to learn.

It’s a miracle we survive, pushing through the strife,

Choosing to keep going, embracing this life.

Asked how I continue after losing my child,

To cancer’s cruel grasp, my spirit reviled.

I had two choices, to crumble or stand tall,

To give up or rise after the fall.

What would my son want, I often ponder,

To see me give up, or to fight and wander?

He was a fighter, never backing down,

He battled until he was worn, until he was bound.

So I’ll fight for him, carry on his fight,

With every breath, with all my might.

I’ll stand back up, no matter the cost,

For my son, for love, for what I’ve lost.

So as I walk this path, with strength and grace,

I honor his memory, I’ll keep the pace.

For in every struggle, every test we face,

It’s love that guides us, with unwavering grace.
