OUR MATTHEW... NAN'S LITTLE MAN

I was diagnosed with cancer, and nearly died, when I didnt want chemo, this liitle boy helped me get the strength to go through with it.....


I want to tell you about a little boy,
Who's brought our family so much joy,
He was sent to us straight from heaven above,
And since his birth has given so much love.


He makes his nan's life more worthwhile,
When I look at his face and see that smile,
He's the joy of my life, and so much more,
His name is Matthew, and he's going on four.


He has a lovely mum and dad,
With the way things are that can't be bad,
There's so much hurt and heartache out there,
He's loved and protected, with parental care.


I thank God for this child everyday,
And I love him more than words can say,
So thank you Father for giving to us,
This special gift from up above.
