For Sam

Tiny hands are trying Determined legs keep forging on Frustrated eyes crying Another slip of childhood gone Resilient mind learning Working so hard to do his best Besieged body burning His spirit crying out for rest But he'll be victorious! For, God is with him every day Strength and mercy, glorious Carrying His child all the way

Yes, he will be! Poor little angel, at least he has such loving, caring family members at his side as he fights a fight he will win for sure! Still in my prayers. Beautiful tribute to a very special child. Cannot wait to hear news of a total recovery. Blessings always. Love, Shar
