13 years old now such an inspiration All you've been through yet see the world with admiration You may be restricted in a physical way But you see the sunshine on the cloudiest day I've held your hand from day one When times were critical you always held on A boy so young a lot you have to fight You never give in you use all your might Surgery illness hospital stays Being told at times these were your last days But you sit there the miracle you are From those early days you have come so far An intelligent kind and loving boy You've filled me with strength and endless joy We will face the hurdles together Our mother son bond that will last forever
