My Friend, An Update

My friend with the tumor is hanging in there. I haven't had a chance to see her in about a week and a half but I receive updates now and again. I guess she is starting to have a little trouble with her balance now and of course still has problems with her speech. I finally remembered this morning while I was in Zion's room to grab the poem that my friend wrote for her so that I could share it with you. Here it is:

What a wonderful little one you are

You're like a bright and shining star

Sent to us from Heaven above

A precious gift of God's own love

A tiny wondrous bundle

Of joy and great delight

To cuddle in the daytime

To hold closely in the night.

We are so glad that you have come

Into our home to stay

May we ever love and cherish you

Through each and every day.

And may the Lord be with you

Throughout all your lifelong days

As you open up your heart to Him

To be called a house of praise

May He ever lead and guide you

Hold you closely to His side

As you live and grow to love Him

And in His peace abide.

So that when you get to Heaven

He'll say Sweet One come in

For you have believed in His own Dear Son

and helped others to Him win.
