Poetry of my Brother-in-law and Sister

I think this poem was more written by my brother-in-law, Clyde Buff; although it is given as from both he and my sister, Sara.  It was written for the funeral of their grandson Forrest.

Touched by an Angel

Few of us ever have the blessing

Of being touched by an angel on earth,

But Forrest was one of God's special sons

Sent to touch all our lives here on earth.

From him we learned just what real strength was

Real strength as he fought through each trial

He never gave in, never let the pain win

He touched our lives with his angelic smile.

We all felt the touch of his patience

The touch of his "I love you" gaze

And his love will last though his time her is past

He touched us all in so many ways

How does it feel to be touched by and angel?

Ask those who knew Forrest well

They all know for sure, Forrest's love will endure

In their hearts where the sweetest memories dwell.

Yes we all have been touched by an angel

We than God for Forrest's brief stay here below

May his touch linger on though his mortal journey is done

He is the truest little angel we know

With all our love

Grandma and Grandpa Buff
