Love and Loss
Grand expectations
Pressure to grow and prosper
Parents exhausted
Boy missing milestones
Parents can’t bear another
Growing up alone
No friends in high school
And no allies in college
Until he meets her
They don’t have too much
But each other and cheep beer
Together, they’re happy
She falls ill so soon
Leaves before he says goodbye
Born and dies alone
