Little Saturday Warrior, to my son, Jean-Thomas, gone Home 9-18-

Saturday Warrior
Standing always tall and proud
Guarding and protecting his baby
Defying anyone who dares to come near that might hurt her
Saturday Warrior
So very small yet so strong and brave
A proud little missionary and fine big brother
Even from Heaven
Our little brave warrior watches over us and keeps us
He sends us rainbows and music to let us know he is with us always
Still standing tall and proud
A great little missionary still on earth and in Heaven
Saturday Warrior
Standing always for Truth and Love
Rebecca Ann Couture

There is a picture that goes with this poem but I don't know how to post it. The picture is of Jean-Thomas standing strong and proud, keeping guard over Princess Sarah in her carriage. It is one of the few pictures of his last summer on earth.

Doesn't look like it worked Depending on how large the file is, yu may need to scale it down. Another possability if you have somewhere else that you can host the picture, then you can upload it there and link to it from a post.

Added the pic

So exceptionally touching. I must say. And so sad.

Thank you for adding my picture. Now everyone can see our brave little warrior who stands guard over his princess. Yet also know one of the little angels who watches over and helps all in need of a very special little angel.
Why do you say it is sad? Not sad. Jean-Thomas is an angel come to earth for a short time. In 6 1/2 years he lived a very full and happy life. He became a man and served a full-time mission. He lived more in his life and had more wisdom then most do in a long lifetime. Yes we miss Jean-Thomas and his hugs and we often long for him to be here with us still. Jean-Thomas lives in Heaven with Jesus and is busy at work but still he watches always over us. He sends us beautiful rainbows almost daily and his music is in the songs of nature. He walks in the garden and rings the chimes to tell us he is near.

Sad that such a good and kind soul could not have stayed around, and would pass on at such a young age.

Aaediwen,
Thanks so much for helping Rebecca w/ getting her pic posted on "Saturday Warrior". she had asked me how, wasn't able to 'modify" her post, so, I directed her to you. Rebecca is a very sweet & talented friend. Would love to see her get her work published. Again, many thanks for helping her ! Ohh, something kinda neat, when I went to your profile, the pic of your cat, there. I had a cat that could pass for it's twin, my cat lived to be well over 20 real years old. My childhood pet, that seen me all the way through college., He was a big tom-cat, outdoor cat, what a fighter! Seen him tear-up quite A few dogs. Still trying to get on your site, I think the trouble is on my end, got security a wee bit too "tight". TC & thanks, again!!

Jean-Thomas

A small boy stands guard over his babies
Caring for his wee ones that no harm may befall.
Young man, not yet six springs old
Stands tall and strong
Teacher
Wise beyond his years
Missionary
Soldier brave and true
Child of Love
Finding beauty in all places
Take the time to look and see
Listen to this child’s words of wisdom.
Two little sisters look up to big brother with great respect
A big brother looks up to his little brother and wonders
Will he ever be able to walk in his brother’s moccasins.
Little angel in Heaven
Watching over his family always.
Call him hero
He will simply reply:
“I’m no hero
I’m just a very small Saturday Warrior
Doing my work.”
