You can press Print Scrn (next to F12) while having the article opened and that will copy it as an image. Then go to eather photoshop or Paint program and paste it there. You'll see it and you can delete the extra junk. Make it into an image, save it and just post it like that I guess.

AOL knows AIM is better. Duh!

Damn..... thats pretty sad.

yes, it is sad from the earthly point of view! however, the beautiful loving and caring way people respond and open their hearts to this little child and appreciate their own lives and its sweetness makes his journey to earth a blessing for all and shows God's perfection through our loving response and sympathy--- One of the rarest occasions where there were no bashing, hateful posts in the comments section of aol! now, that's a miracle in itself!!~~God bless you little Mattie

When I die, I want to be
A child in Heaven.
I want to be
A ten-year-old cherub.
I want to be
A hero in Heaven,
And a peacemaker,
Just like my goal on Earth.
I will ask God if I can
Help the people in Purgatory.
I will help them think,
About their life,
And their spirits,
About their future.
I will help them
Hear their Heartsongs again,
So they can finally
See the face of God,
So soon.
When I die,
I want to be,
Just like I want to be
Here in Earth.

Thank You, God,
Not just for life,
But for our journey through life.
Life is a miracle,
And a journey through life
Is so full of so many more miracles
If we travel with our Heartsongs.
Thank You, God,
For blessing me with the
Gift of Heartsongs,
So that I can enjoy my miracles.

Our eyes are for looking at things,
But they are also for crying
When we are very happy or very sad.
Our ears are for listening,
But so are our hearts.
Our noses are for smelling food,
But also the wind and the grass and
If we try very hard, butterflies.
Our hands are for feeling,
But also for hugging and touching so gently.
Our mouths and tongues are for tasting,
But also for saying words, like
"I love you," and
"Thank You, God. For all of these things."
