This is a poem written by my dear Double Cousin

Elijah

Elijah loved playing in water
But he never learned to walk.
He loved it when his dad sang to him,
But he never learned to talk.

For some children life is different
Not all can run and play,
They have to work at everything
Facing struggles every day.

Elijah was a special boy
Who lived in a loving home,
Born with a rare condition called
Angelman Syndrome.

Beautiful, bright, twinkling eyes
That matched his cheery smile.
When it came to finding mischief,
He’d go that extra mile.

He was loved by everyone
This rascally little boy.
Elijah was a precious gift
Who gave his family joy.

They also felt the pain of loss
When Elijah passed away.
But the memories of this special boy
Keep people smiling every day.
