Sweetest child, in the poorest of health.
Sweetest soul, waiting to go home.
Sweetest smile, trying so hard to be like everyone else.
Sweetest laughter, that will echo in many hearts after you've gone.
Soft skin, hiding the pain beneath the surface...
a pain that no one but he could understand.
Through all, you remain better than us,
happier,
lovlier,
stronger...it is you that comforts us.
It is you that holds this family together.
Purest soul, one that can not be marred by sin.
Least deserving of any pain, any torture...any worry.
And yet it is I who can walk...and i walk for you.
For every step you can not take, my strides become more significant.
My love, unconditional.
My life...and everyone elses's you have touched...better for having known you.
