****This poem is dedicated to Cathy and her family....her 8 yr old son passed away from brain cancer last night after finding the tumor on Saturday.*****

God gave you to me as a gift one day.  Never thought from my arms you would go away.  These things aren't supposed to happen to children we say...I'll get to ask God why one day.

Why one day you were to tired to play........you were to tired to eat.....all you wanted was a peaceful sleep.  

So rest my son,  you are finally Home.....I will always thank you for the love you have shone.

Yet we are as we are, all His sons and daughters.  Blessed with the giving and the taking of which He is in full control.  God bless you, Cathy and her family.

you guys are going to make me cry harder.  I'm sorry that I don't have the time to respond to each of you but I would like to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for her family and myself.
