~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~
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...
I know I can depend on the wonderful authors here to pray for this sweet child. If anyone would like to send a card or write to Josh his address is:
