She's My Child

In a moment of her mothers agony she was born.

Nine weeks too early, weight just two pound ten.

A small package rushed out her new life to begin.

She's my child, she's all I need.

No one knows how I feel as I've watched her grow.

She has won my heart, she's all I need.

She's my child.

She has cerebral palsy the doctor said.

Not perfect, a flaw in her head.

She's my child, she's all I need.

She probably won't walk he said, she's my child.

But she's a fighter this child of two, will prove the doctor wrong.

She's my child, she's all I need.

The "Shuttle" blew up and today she's three.

On her birthday seven met their destiny.

Two older brothers and one older sis could learn much from Nikki sis.

She's my child, she's all I need.

I want to dance I heard her say, now four

In leg casts to lengthen heel cords.

Scars on heels, I believe she will!

Almighty God, hear my prayer.

Give her strength to overcome this thing

And wisdom to succeed.

She's my child, Your strength she needs.

And when I am old with eternity near

watch over her I pray.

For she is Your gift to me and her mom.

She's my child

You know all I need

I'm Your child and so is she.
