Sweet Poem for Preston

I found this sweet poem and as crazy as it seems the title is



Preston's Gift



You came into the world struggling for air,

With courage and heart you survived a scare.

Your will to live and be with us,

Inspires and touches us so very much.

It must have been hard to go from warmth to thin air,

With a tube down your throat it didn't seem fair.

But you fought for your life,

it wasn't much fun.

Making our problems so small by comparison.

We hope that you know,

We'd do anything for you,

You're worth any sacrifice that we can go through.

With Gods help above,

We'll conquer any sea,

You've reminded us of the way that life needs to be.
