Poem Artwork


Meet Josh M. He is a 13 year old boy who suffers from Becker's Muscular Dystrophy. Grand Mal seizures, cardiomyopathy and venous angioma of the left parietal area. Josh has had a stroke . As his muscles weaken he is needing a wheelchair more and more. His skill level is of a fourth grade child.

Josh likes animals..( goats, rabbits, horses) and John Wayne movies..toy cars..etc. He has two brothers and a sister Austin (2-8-94), Casey (2-7-86), and Laura (12-25-84). Josh's parents are Donald and Janet who also have health problems. This poem is dedicated to you Josh...May you always smile as you are smiling in this photo...God bless....

~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~

Eyes that shine
Reflecting your heart
I can see it
Thou we are miles apart
A gentle soul
Brave and Strong
Singing to the beat
Of his own song
Sitting in his wheelchair
Such spirit he shows
Nothing gets him down
His kindness just flows
He takes life as a gift
He loves every day
He takes nothing for granted
Along the way
All that he asked is a little
Prayer from you
A simple talk with God to
Help him get through
God bless you, sweet Josh
Keep that smile on your face
With your brave spirit and courage
You will win the race...

© Linda Hill 2003
