Give Them a Miracle This Year

Two teachers were given this precious gift, with your guiding hands.
One daughter they named Mali and she has all your lesson plans. 

To choose the best for Mali, with all the fear and doubt you raised.
This gauntlet that was posed and run is a testament of their praise.

They have surmounted each obstacle and hurdle that was made.
With fear and doubt they have fought so, she won't be dismayed. 

Lets pray, a long life for this child, breathing this earths fresh air
Creating a deafening echo from all of us repeating the same prayer

I'm seeking a miracle for two teachers, a parents simple request
Mali wins life after BMT, defeating Hurlers Syndrome, is my request

That these two children grow together to live a long and happy life
Would be Grandpa's wish for his Christmas, in this world of strife
