There is a little beautiful boy.
He's slowly getting destroyed.
His light is slowly getting dim.
Chances of surviving are slim.

He was born without half of his heart.
His dad is sitting there hoping him and his son won't have to part.
Two years old and he had a stroke.
Two years old and he's never spoke.

He can't walk.
He can't talk.
His mother is hardly there.
Some would think life isn't fair.

But, they continue to smile everyday.
Enjoying their time together in every way.
His father notices his strength.
Knowing that his life won't have that long of a length.

This two year old boy is amazing.
Loving life. Looking at everything, always gazing.
Can we try to help this little boy stay?
Just put our hands together and pray.

This is an actual story about a little boy. I met his father at the hospital when my little sister had a four wheeler accident and stayed overnight in the hospital. This man sat outside with me and my friend while we were smoking. He gave us two cigarettes in the remainder of the time that we were talking to him. His son had heart surgery the Friday that we were up there. He showed us pictures of his son. His son is the cutest little boy in the whole world. He actually was born without half a heart and is two years old. He had a stroke so he can't walk or talk. But, he continues to smile in that hospital bed. Continues to be happy that he's alive and fights for his life everyday. He's an amazing little boy. If you believe in god... Please pray for him... I wrote this poem for him... I'm thinking about calling the hospital and seeing if they're still there so that I could send it to them. He needs as much prayer as he can get. Thank you for reading. c:
