Voice Of An Angel

Today, I heard the Voice of an Angel...
A musical voice, not far from Heavens' door.
A six year old in the final stages of cancer...
The Gates of Heaven soon to welcome forevermore.

He answered the cellphone with the strength of an army,
The wisdom of the masters who have lived before.
Just a six year old angel trying to live each day.
With cancer distroying his body at the very core.

He deserves so much more than these final days...
He deserves to grow up, to play sports, to live.
He deserves to change the world with his laughter,
he deserves more than we have the power to give.

From his little wheelchair, his spirit illuminates...
With a heart full of love, laughter, and great joy.
I would give up my life in a heartbeat...
In exchange for the life of this little boy.

But it seems, in reality, that isn't an option.
So when you have to leave, little one, fly away.
We will look for you in the shining stars above.
In our hearts, deep inside, forever you'll stay.
