Matthew, your name means “a gift of God”,
But the Doctors found your heart to be very odd.
We saw you get sicker and your heart got more weak,
Day and night I was there, didn’t care if I got little sleep.
But then, a clear revelation was made to me,
That you would grow strong, that you would help many.
With a grain of hope in a mountain of sand,
I believed this would come true, but did not understand.
I believed you would grow strong to live many years,
I was so full of joy; there was no room for tears.
But then you were gone, and I did not understand,
You were supposed to help others as I grew to be an old man.
How can you help others, if you’re no longer here?
Is the demise of that promise also near?
But, you made me see, you made me realize
How for granted we take things in our lives.
Every breath and every heart beat is a miracle
How could I not realize that before?
When I do, I will see that revelation come true.
Love Dad
