I read an article in our local paper about a young 3 year old boy who was born with severe physical and mental disabilities.His parents have been nominated in the Family of the Year Award for their devotion to their son as well as being involved in a volunteer program to look after other children with disabilities each month.I was so inspired by Henry & Penny Hanssen that I felt the need to write about their love, loyalty and selflessness towards others.

How proud you both should be
Of your beautiful little boy
An angel sent from heaven
To fill your hearts with joy

With a smile so very radiant
And a warmth to rival the sun
Your cherub's name is Darcy
And to you he is number one

Together you work tirelessly
Helping those in desperate need
Many others in our society
Should follow your inspiring lead

You put others before yourself
For there is nothing you wouldn't do
So very fortunate is your son
To have loving parents like you

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Sue, you know how I cry when you write this type of beautiful and touching poem based on real life people.

How lucky this little guy is to have parent's so loving and caring. God will bless them abundantly.

Thank you for sharing their goodness with all of us.

Sue: A beautiful poem for some beautiful people. As the mother of a "special" boy, I always commend anyone who makes an effort to help these unfortunate ones and that includes writing poetry about them!
