Kristjan
The Covered Crown
A prince was sent to earth to live among the common man
His majestic identity covered by the shroud of disability.
Some turned away, some stared and some laughed as he tried to move through his life all covered up.
Some held his hand, and were warmed by his presence.
The brief moment of mortality is past, winter is gone; the shroud lifted.
Hence the conflict won, he wears his noble crown.
Those who turned away now look with awe at his royal face, and hang low the head they once held too high to see his splendid spirit.
Those who held his hand find upon their head also a majestic crown, and share with him the Warmth of God.
Kristjan amazes me when he was born We were told that he likely did not have enough brain tissue to support life--virtually a brain stem only. It is amazing how Our Father in Heaven has blessed him. He can put together his computer and use it to find information. He is honestly amazing. Yet still there are things he cannot do. I have learned to delight and focus on the the things he can do. His glass is overflowing not half empty or half full. He is so kind an patient and a great blessing to our family Kirstjan is my 6th child--my sixth Black sheep there are eight of them you know and that makes us the 10 black sheep.
