Overcoming Disabilities

Growing up midst deficiencies to overcome
our special child is indeed a victor
                          bringing blest hope
                             as divine cheers.

Gaining milestones against disabilities’ angst
he keeps on learning, showing advancement
negating physician’s diagnosis
that soon, he will “progress toward retrogression…”

        Should we deny the miracles
        surpassing medical experts?

                          Steadfast faith* works
                            yes, the Lord heals.

*Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
