This is Dustin Thompson, age 13. He lives in Bakersfield, California. He desperately needs our prayers. At 12 yrs of age Dustin had sarcoma cancer. With God and chemo, he survived. Now at 13 yrs of age he has developed lung cancer. The doctors give him one to five years to live. This is terrible for an adult to comprehend, but for a teen it has to be worse. I have asked for your prayers before, my den friends, but now I am begging. This child needs our deepest prayers. I thank you in advance. God bless all of you....
Dear Lord, I come to you tonight
With a humble heart and soul
A prayer for a thirteen year old boy
He needs Your hand to hold
His name is Dustin and I'm sure
He's already called on You
I know that so many have prayed
Please listen to my prayer too
************************************
A typical teenager who loves to
Ride his skateboard in the wind
May his strength be as a tall tree
With limbs that never bend
He loves to write poetry, rap songs
A teenager through and through
He's found out he has lung cancer, Lord
Is there anything You can do
************************************
I pray that one of your angels
Will envelope him with his wings
May he feel your presence every day
With the blessings that you bring
Send healing to this young lad
Who's life has just begun
Remove the cancer from his body, Lord
May Thy will be done

Stunning poem Linda and it came from
the heart! I know God listened and is working
on an answer to your prayer! Bless Dustin
and I shall be praying for him and the family
as well. Very sad yet shows strength in God too!
Dustin certainly has my prayers and thoughts as do all the children who suffer from this terrible disease, I lost my father to this, which was heartbreak enough...but it's even worse for these poor kids, I hate seeing children suffer...yet I admire they're strength and resilience bless them all...may we soon rid the planet of this scourge of mankind.
I am not good at dealing with pain and sickness when it comes to kids, Linda, and I don't often pray, but for this young man I pray to the heavens that if anyone is to die, allow it to be me, and allow this young man to have a life full of happiness...I hope you and he find peace, Ed & Rufuz
Empathic and soul-reaching write, Linda. I know that, without angels, I would not be here to write this. Thank you for this. Love and peace to you. Regis
A very caring and heartfelt poem prayer. Linda, I will join you in your prayer. Hope God's angels will envelop Dustin with their angel wings and protect him.
Linda thank you for sharing and caring! Know that my prayers are with Dustin, as we entrust him into God's loving care,for healing and a hedge of protection!
Linda, I just read this to my 12-year old and we let our reading your beautiful poem and a moment of silence be our prayer. Thank you for your compassionate care. I know Dustin and his family rest in God's loving arms. Dawn
