Some hard things to withstand

Each of us were given

Some difficult things to do

But God gave his bravest warriors

An extra burden too

So you came to this earth in a body (alternate phrase: So you were challenged with a body)

Broken and quite ill (alternate phrase: That became broken and quite ill)

But life could never take from you

A solid, determined will

You kept your face turned toward the sunshine

Trapped in a body that only knew rain

And chose to see the joys in life

In spite of constant pain

And though your body was oft' connected

To needles, machines and tubes

You bravely faced each day with them

While expressing gratitude

For the chance of simply being here

Though to us it didn't seem fair

To see someone as special as you... "
