My Beautiful Son
I watch you playing,
Without a care.
It's hard to believe
The cancer is there.
You look so bright,
So happy and well.
If someone new met you
They couldn't tell.
Your strength is amazing,
Your courage so strong.
You've fought this disease
So well for so long.
It's from your strength,
that I draw mine.
I know you will come through this,
It'll just take time.
Carry on smiling,
I will too.
Through the hard times
I'll carry you.
You are my world,
The air that I breathe,
I know in my heart
You'll never leave.
Keep strong my love,
The battle has begun,
But with your strength,
It will be won.
Sorry for being so sappy!!! I know that will get some people weepy-eyed (it did me) But I saw it and it so beautifully puts into words how I feel that I wanted to share it!!!

Maria,
That is beautful! Thank you for sharing your poem with us. Please know that we are praying & thinking of you all every day. When I get stressed, I just think of the look on Eli's face when he saw that farm animal cake! He's quite a courageous little guy & he's lucky to have such a wonderful family! :) E.C. Setser (Brady's mom)
So beautiful! I know that it is so cathartic for you to do, and it blesses those with whom you share it. God is stengthening Eli, who is turn strengthening you. You know that "In our weakness God's strength is made perfect!"
Peace to you sister!
Robin
You are helping all of us remember our own blessings by sharing...
May Eli continue to get stronger!
Also wanted to say thanks to everyone who has donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on behalf of Eli. It really shows how many people care so much for your family!
