This Too Will Pass Away
        If I can Endure for this Minute whatever is happening too me, No matter how Heavy my Heart is or how "Dark" the minute may be. If I can remain calm  and  Quiet with all my world crashing about me, Secure in the knowledge that God Loves me, when everyone else seems too doubt me- If I can but keep on Believeing in my heart too be true. That..." Darkness will Fade with the Morning" and that This will pass Away Too...... Then Nothing in Life Can Defeat Me, for as long as this Knowledge remains, I can suffer whatever is happening for I know God will Break "all the chains", That are Binding me tight in "The Darkness" and tryng too fill me with Fear,- For there is No Night without  Dawning and I know" My Morning is Near............................................ I                                                                                                                        have this poem my Grandmother used too read me, and I  read  it everyday, I have Four kids, My Son Alex just finished up High School, and has joined the service, he has had his mind set on that since he was in Junior high, and 911 happened, Is  it  what I want for him?.....NO, but it is what he wants.... I raised them too be really independent, and that he is, I just didnt know how fast it was going too happen, I am very proud of the choice he made, and even though me and Alex havent always seen eye too eye, it took me a long time too realize that when I used too think we were so different, we are actually very much alike. The kid has a spirit, like no other. He is fiercly independent, and strong willed. Mike is a fourth grader. a giver, Mike is  most like me, he is so wonderful with his sister, and everyone just loves him, he is an amazing boy, who does nothing but help me, and gets great grades in school. Wilson, is five,  named after my mom, Wilson was my Mothers maiden name, is my little whipper-snapper. Mischieveous, but as lovable as  can be. . He is a Great little boy who looks just like his father.  Then there is Maddy, she is an absolute joy, I see my eyes when I look at her, she is beautiful.  And of course I dress her like a doll, and everywhere we go people stop me and tell me how beautiful she is. She is a beautiful child with or without Down Syndrome. She has a very unique and special look too her, she has some characteristics of down syndrome, but not as predominant as others. I love her unconditionally and treasure everyday with her, she makes me a better person .
