Poems And Things
William Tate Latter Our Little Aussie Battler
William is our Little Aussie Battler at the age of only one.
He has suffered so much, has Brian and Bronwyn's son.
Diagnosed with a rare disease when only 11 months old.
Histiocytosis is the dreaded name we are told.
So much strength for a little soul and we promise he will never be alone.
The Royal Childrens Hospital is the place he has to be.
Steroids and chemotherapy is the magic cure we hope to see.
He is looking so frail and tiny, losing weight fast.
Now to get some weight back on. A nose tube at last.
Through this tube he is being fed nourishment for a while.
Our little Aussie Battler always has cheeky smile.
Now back at Inverell his home, he plays with Hannah and Riley.
This beautiful child whom we all call 'Smiley'.
We hope and pray that God sees how much this little Aussie Battler still has to give.
And provides him with a good life that we all hope and pray he lives
