More Walking With Grace

Your mama woke me early one day with news that changed me as a man
Seems our vision to wait awhile to give your sis a sis had started sooner than we planned
We laid in bed the rest of that morning pondering how you'd be
How excited we were to add another child to our already amazing family.
Oh what a lucky man I am
I can't say when I thought about how my life would be, this was what I had planned
but what I can say is that I’ve learned the most important things are not ones that can be replaced
that day we began our journey of walking with Grace


At one point they told us that you'd never make it onto this earth
Doctors visits and hospital tours prepared us for the worst
we believed in you and love and faith and vowed to do everything we had to do
so the day would come where we could share all this love with you
I witnessed the greatest love of all in your mother as she prepared us for this race
If love is enough, there was no doubt that the day would soon come,
we'd be walking with Grace


Just days after you arrived as your heart failed, the doctors told us of their doubts
we had to think through tear filled eyes of what life was all about
we chose the path we had to choose and said when do we start
this little girls already beaten the odds, now let's go fix her heart
We knew the first path we chose wouldn’t fix you, but was a path to buy us time
to search to find a way because I couldn't give you mine
we didn’t know how much time we had and quickly learned life would now be at your pace
but we won't stop 'til there's an answer now that we are finally walking with Grace.
