Hi Rob

Im sure I can get Rob to show up in the stormtrooper armour again..

 

I didn't even know this thread was here. It's too far in advance to say for sure, but if I can make it, I will.

 

I just wanted to let you all know I will be having some awesome Artwork on Display and even a chance to WIN..

I will be working on something to but in no way compare to these guys above...but it will be fun and for a great cause "Help A Child Smile".

Here is a little something that I would like to share.

A man never stands so tall as when he stoops to Help A Child....(Abraham Lincoln)

Little Child with no Hair
How Often have you thought
That this cancer
Was not fair?

Those little games unfinished
The missed cartoons;
Your restless nights,
All somehow betrayed you.

When you raised your hairless head,
And your big eyes questioned me,
My tears went away, because I could read
In your soul that you still loved me.

Little child so very ill,
You've tasted the fruit of life,
You are following its long hollow path,
But believe me, you are the key to wisdom.

You have taught me
To take life one day at a time,
To love at its fullest,
And to hope forever.

How do I take away your fears?
how do I ease your pain?
How does life go back to normal?
How do I dry your tears?

My beautiful little child,
Thoughout this lengthy illness,
I've always admired your strenght,
And today, I can promise you:

That mommy and daddy
Will dry away those tears,
And make you smile and laugh again.

thanks to all
Rob
