My Unsung Hero
My Unsung Hero
O' so tiny, a son born at twenty-four ounces
now laughter rings, as on my knee he bounces
Fought, such a fighter for sweet life was he
precious fruit from our great Love Tree!
I held him as breast milk he was gravity fed
still we remember all those tears we shed
Ninety days in the hospital he stayed to heal
now watch him sing, laugh and loudly squeal!
Seven long years he has been healing now
a miracle granted when we pray and bow
Relief as more weight is all he now needs
thank God for his life , joy that it seeds!
Our son, a brave fighter that fought to make it!
A miracle gifted , a blessing , happily we take it!

Note: Based upon the premature birth of our son Justin at just 24 ounces
and his 3 months in hospital , coming home at only three and a half pounds.
Two operations later and 4 years on an urinary reflux antibiotic he has now
made it to seven years old!!!!
God heals and blesses..
