If God whatever you believe him or her to be sends some souls to earth just for a short while to teach us the value of life. Like young children who die of cancer, they always have such an old look in their eyes ( like an old soul staring out from the body of a child) and is it not up to us to learn from those struggles and become better people ourselves? These children in their own ways teach compassion, courage and strength of spirit that some will never know and If we do not learn from them is their blood not on our hands as if we had killed them if we do not learn?

"I'll lend you for a while a child of mine," He said.
"For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief."
"I cannot promise he will stay; since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again?"
"I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happines
