Andrew....Our Miracle, Our Angel
Sitting there with out a sound
As the doctors talked about what they have found
They say their opinion without a second thought
Shocked that Abortion was the only word we caught
They said he would never be like the rest
It would not be easy for us and that it was all for the best
He would never do the things other little boys did
They just couldn't understand why any parent would want this kid
I said to them stop, listen and remember
With or without you, our baby will be born this December
Don’t talk about this, that, or the other
He is my son and I am his mother
He was put through what no child should ever have to face
But fought his way strong through God's loving Grace
I always knew that one day he would prove them all wrong
Oh how it came true when he sang his first song
A heart and Cross drawn on both of his hands
Looking back I now know it was God’s entire Plan
God showed him a way how to finally fight no more
And took him to Heaven at the young age of four
Andrew was our miracle boy, you see
I get so lonely that he is now not with me
I know that someday we will not be apart
But living here without him breaks my heart
He was a nephew that brought such joy
Grandma's little buddy and Mommy's Drewboy
Megan's bubby, and Daddy's little brat blue
Grandpa's sidekick, and his best friend too
We will never forget the smiles that he brought
The songs that he sang and the fights that he fought
We still thank God for that short time we had
And always remember his smile, on days that are sad.
