No money for his college fund.

With a heart of Gold  and  no legs to run.

He took his turn and placed his feet in his destiny.

Leaving behind the burdens of his family tree.

Thinking sadly " Mom, please don't cry for me."

So he took a pledge and he made a choice.

The courage of one for a world's voice.

So far away with strangers and uncertainty.

He finds the core  that he could never see

He  becomes  the man he always wanted to be.

So he took a pledge and he made a choice.

The courage of one for a world's voice.

The time is near and his family is too.

 And he knows that he is loved.

Dying isn't  weakness for  he did what he came to do.
