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.
