This poem is about my little buddy. He was my cousin and one of those special children that seem to have the spirit of God in them from the day they are born. He was born a hemophiliac
and had cerebral palsy, but was smart as a tack. The doctor told us he would not make it past two years old, but he did. One point in his life he was in a coma, and it was at this time this poem was written. I will be writing a story about him a little later so watch the den for it.

Coty

By Myrtle Poor

"Who am I?" That is living here

Inside this body's shell.

I know there is no sin in me

So I can't go to hell.

My hand can't hold a can of beer

Nor my lips curse God in vain

My feet can't walk the downward road

For I can't walk or talk or sing.

My soul and mind are here,

Just inside of me

And I love God with all my might,

But only God can see.

I cannot whisper words of praise,

But God knows my thoughts you see

He knows my thoughts are full of love

For there is no sin in me.

As I lay here upon this bed

My body wracked in pain

I ask you just pray for me

For there is a purpose in everything."

This comment is from Bruce Rice, but when he could not get it to down load he ask me to post it for him............Yes indeed. God always uses the imperfect, the lowly and the humble. But ohhh what a bright spirit they have. God has brought some special people across your path.

Coty is indeed a very special boy. His love for Jesus is all he needs to lead him. What a good looking boy he is Myrtle. He will stay in my prayers. Thank you for sharing. Newfie Hugs, Rose
