  15. Strange such a broad spand of time that he may have been missing- 10 hours is a long range of time for not knowing where your child is.

    Terry Dewayne Smith
    aka "JuJu"

    Poetic Journal

    Today I was created
    Today my life began
    By the union of two people
    A woman and a man
    They call themselves my parents
    I'll be their little boy
    Bringing them much happiness
    To them I'll be a joy

    I'll grow from a baby to a toddler
    Learning to walk and run
    Inquisitive in nature
    Having lots of fun
    I'll have cuts and scratches
    And band aids quite a few
    Nothing a kiss from mom won't cure
    Something mother's usually do

    They'll take lots of pictures of me
    My smile will touch their heart
    But then there will come a day you see
    When we will have to part
    My picture will be posted everywhere
    For all the world to see
    Everyone will be searching
    In hopes of finding me

    Then when they least expect it
    They'll find me in a shallow grave
    Many will shed rivers of tears for me
    Others will rant and rave
    But I'll be at peace everlasting
    No more sadness, no more tears
    Never again to be all alone
    Like I was during my eleven years

    If you find the one who did this
    Two wrongs don't make a right
    Just remember me and my angelic smile
    When you say your prayers at night
    Thank the Lord for the times we did have
    Know I'm in his tender care
    We'll all be together again someday
    I can't wait to see you there

  19. That was beautiful , thank you, we need to remember that terry has been taken to a much better place, saved from a horibble life in his crazy home:(- no more tears, no more questions, he has all the answers as he's spending time exploring heaven with Jesus :)- I look forward to meeting him when I get there :) praying for whoever could have done that to him, the wAy was not Gods plan, but He promises to work all things together for the good of those who love Him & are called according to His purpose- Romans 8:28- praying they find the forgiveness of the Lord, may we be angry, that's ok, Jesus got & gets angry, but may we pray for those that were so lost that they thought that was ok? May they find the Truth, for the Truth will set us free
