My heart mourned long its innocence What seems an age ago, A carefree spirit burdened down By what I came to know. I learned about a fate called Death Which I could not endure. All Life extinguished in its grasp-- Disease without a cure. This knowledge hurt at such an age, Still innocent at eight. My death became my biggest fear, And hardest to abate. So with flashlight and plastic gun, I waited anxiously, Snug in my bed, afraid, but set To fight Mortality.
