Someday

I found the following poem in Philip's (our 9 year old) folder today. PJ & I both teared up when we read it. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Someday
Someday I will hear my neighbor's old voice again.
Someday I will be a Marine in combat.
Someday I will feel my great-grandpa's hand.
Someday I will hear the Harley's motor again.
Someday I will be a man.
Someday I will have a sister from China.
Someday I will have a perfect life.
Someday I will die.
Someday I will go to Heaven.
Someday I will see God.
