This entire poem is so heartbreaking - especially this stanza.

I often watch my innocent loving trusting 4 year old grandson and find myself praying Please let time stop.

But of course it can't. So then I pray for courage and wisdom to help guide him as he grows and encounters life's inevitable bumps and bruises
