Joshua came to live with us when he was three weeks old. He was only given a year to live, but he lived longer.


Joshua,child of God, sent
to us from heaven above.
You've blessed our hearts and
lives, with your innonce and
love.

Oh Joshua, angel of God, held
in great esteem most high. God
gave you life and strength, but
he forgot to give you sight.

There is an illness with in
that will not go away. Its
slowly wearing you down, as
life goes on, day by day.

Through it all you have
remained ever gentle, ever
sweet. Your presence in our
lives has made our world more
complete.

Joshua, when the angels come
and take your little hands,
you'll fly away on silver
wings to Gods promised land.

You'll have no pain or
suffering. You'll be able
to run, jump and play as you
see the sunlight stream through
heaven, with its golden rays.

Our ancestors will be there
to meet you when entering paradise
through heavens door. There you
will live with our savior,
forever and ever more.

Such a great tribute to Joshua. He is pain free and with his ancestors and running and playing with the angels. Children are needed with God in Heaven too, but sometimes it is hard to understand why. Just writing this probably made you feel better getting it off your mind. You are such a brave person and have been through so much. Love your writes.*********8

"Joshua , Child Of God"
Mary this beautiful, and blessed poem surely takes
my heart on flight. A powerful write and quite a blessing.
I feel honored and priviledged to even be able to read this work
about your precious Grandson Joshua. My heart goes out to you.
He is an extension of all of God's glory and I am so glad that you
were blessed with him and given the opportunity to love, and honor him as a true gift, and blessing from Our Heavenly Father.
Thank you Mary for sharing your wonderful work!

Sincerely,
From the Heart of an Artist Quiet Storm

How very sad to lose a young life, but God's plan is perfect even if we don't see answers to the 'whys' right away. Bless your heart as you heal...Michelle
