The doctors said he'd never walk But today he scored a run His cleats were kicking up the chalk As he ran from base to base Normally he gets out Before he even makes first base This time both teams gave a shout When he crossed home plate So pay no mind to what they say When the doctors tell you never Keep on trying and one day You may prove them wrong And if you don't at least you know You gave your baby every chance To live a normal life and grow To experience everything.

Against the Odds
The doctors said he'd never walk But today he scored a run His cleats were kicking up the chalk As he ran from base to base Normally he gets out Before he even makes first base This time both teams gave a shout When he crossed home plate So pay no mind to what they say When the doctors tell you never Keep on trying and one day You may prove them wrong And if you don't at least you know You gave your baby every chance To live a normal life and grow To experience everything.
My special needs son finally scored a run, and the stands were filled with shouts. The coaches, parents, and players for the other team were just as thrilled as we all were and it made me cry.
