Diamond in the Rough
"He will progress toward retrogression..."
Such prognosis haunted me years ago
Causing agony to a mother's heart
Yet refining my faith* to radiate.
Now, my precious special child triumphs well
Empowering us toward thanksgiving
Since he gestures that stars are diamonds
as we praise the Lord God for his blest milestones.
*Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love.
