Poem

Indeed, there are three sides to every story
multi-faceted, alerting us against fake news-misery
thus, wisdom is needed to unravel twists and mystery
along circumspection toward seeking truth's victory!

Here am I presenting a story
along my role in child-rearing ministry
facing challenges on how to handle information-delivery
yet staying calm, though reality-check makes me feel sorry.

One decade and five years ago, 
our special child was diagnosed
with infantile spasm epilepsy 
along global developmental delay…  

Side 1 ~~~ Perspective of the doctor: 
The pediatrician with her neurology expertise
explained the CT (computed tomography) scan
result of our child’s brain ---  as having an atrophy. 
Then she declared this prognosis:
“Your child will progress toward retrogression.”

Side 2 ~~~ My poetic viewpoint in ABC with alliteration:
   Apprehension midst anxiety agitated my angst
   Baby in our life-building bosom
   Calls for compassionate care due to cerebral palsy condition
   Diagnosed with debility, demanding diligent duty---
   Enabled with endurance for extra-effort
   Fervently facing feats for faith-fueling
   Guided with God by His grace and goodness
   Hope-filled to help our child, we are hoisted that his
   Infantile spasm epilepsy should not be ignored…
  
Side 3 ~~~ The Omniscient vision of the Divine Almighty:
By faith in the Sovereign Supreme Creator Who knows
perfectly what’s best, I see His miraculous power in 
our child who is now 15 years old…progressing 
toward milestones, midst the Lord’s provision, 
with our love, prayer and trust, testifying 
“With God, nothing shall be impossible.*”

Indeed, there are three sides to every story
multi-faceted, alerting us against fake news-misery
thus, wisdom is needed to unravel twists and mystery
along circumspection toward seeking truth's victory!

Here I stand today along triumphant territory
winning over unbelief, skepticism and guilt's fury
learning that the Almighty can overrule man's story
since He knows everything, and such is proven in our history!

*Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
