Ei'n filwr fach - Our Little Soldier

My wonderful friend wrote this verse for Lewis' birthday. Its so moving, I wanted to share it with you all.
Ei'n filwr fach - Our little soldier
He was a child with up and go
Looking forward to developing as he loved to show
He filled up the trolley in Tesco's one day
With goodies for him along the way
He'd play footy with Daddy and Samuel too
Nothing could stop him as he was nearly two
Then all of a sudden, they suddenly knew
Without explanation, his walking withdrew
This continued at a very fast speed
Until his body shut down even down to his feed
He's baffled the doctors and specialists too
But this hasn't stopped Lewis
Saying "how do you do"
It may only be said with his eyes these days
But our Welsh Valley accent
Gets chuckles and smiles in many ways
And now that he's four
We'd like to share these words with you
Have a fantastic Penblwydd Hapus
And of course Happy Birthday too
Thank you Angela. We love you so much and cant wait to see you next month xx

The Lewis Jeynes Fund

The Lewis Jeynes Fund was established to provide care and support to Lewis Jeynes and the success of the Fund has meant that we have also been able to purchase specialist equipment for other children with undiagnosed neurologically degenerative conditions in Doncaster and the UK.

Lewis and his friends around the UK all suffer from acute and undiagnosed life limiting or terminal conditions and very often specialist equipment is difficult to afford due to the changed circumstances at home. This is where the Fund can provide vital assistance to those in need. All of the proceeds of the Fund go straight towards helping Lewis, and other children and families like him and us.

Contributions should be sent to The Lewis Jeynes Fund, 15 Kentmere Drive, Doncaster, DN4 5FL or by BACS to Nat West Bank, “The Lewis Jeynes Fund” Account No. 35662565 Sort Code 60 06 39. You can also go into your local Nat West Bank and pay into the Fund over the counter.

i love you much (most beautiful darling) by e.e.cummings

i love you much (most beautiful darling), more than anyone on the earth and i like you better than everything in the sky -sunlight and singing welcome your coming although winter may be everywhere with such a silence and such a darkness, no one can quite begin to guess (except my life) the true time of year - and if what calls itself a world should have the luck to hear such singing (or glimpse such sunlight as will leap higher than high through gayer than gayest someone's heart at your each nearness) everyone certainly would (my most beautiful darling) believe in nothing but love
