Twila My Friend

A very special Downs Syndrome girl,
raised by Godly parents out of this world,
Who were filled with love, patience and grace,
Dad preached GODS word, and 
helped others their sins to face.
Twila loved children and helped for years,
in our church nursery, childrens noses to 
wipe and tears to clear.
She had no fear of changing diapers,
and loving them dear, as she seemed
like one of them there.
She had no fear to get on the floor,
and play with them there.
Always looking for her special boy friend,
whom she could love to the end.
She was my special friend.
GOD took her home to heaven above,
where she will see and feel all GODS
wonderful love, until I see her again,
in eternal peace and love, someday
in heaven above.
