Special Child's Milestones
Peace triumphs over my heart
as I behold my dear special child does his best part
against spastic attacks' blight
learning through sign language delight
manifesting blissful countenance with smile
brightened with advancement style
radiant with hope's glow
midst vibrant milestones' show
along God's power and grace*
progressing despite debility-case.
Indeed, this pattern I see in him pleasantly
with the Lord's compassion at work miraculously
while divine mercy soothes his woes gently
and together we pray, thanking Christ joyously.
*2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
