Love to hear bedtime stories
About a land far, far away
The story can be about princesses or little pigs
A boy that refuses to grow up
Or a little girl visiting her grandmother
And no matter what the story entails
Or where it takes place
It calmly woos the child to sleep
Once upon a time
In a land not so far away
There lived a vile, vicious dragon
It invaded my home one calm Spring day
Attacked my precious, teenage son
And vowed to take him away
No matter what evil it possessed
Or how ferociously it fought
He battled it time and time again
He accepted every harrowing challenge
Declared it would not triumph
And refused to let it succeed
A few times it knocked him down
And was prepared to declare victory
But he refused to admit defeat
He continued to bravely fight
With dignity, class, and pride
And ultimately survived his battle with the dragon
This dragon was called Cancer
Osteosarcoma to be exact
A cursed menace straight from Hell
It has been defeated
By this brave, daring knight
With quiet strength within
As the innocent, sleeping child
Dreams of castles, sugar plums, and fairies
My son will live happily ever after......The End
