Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
a young child overcomes the odds

A chapter in the book Sparks of Faith Ignited

Overcoming the Imposssible

by Joyce Crowe


 Parents are given a disappointing shock,
Their child will be born with a disability.
They grieve and then pray around the clock.
Doctors say walking will not be a feasibility.
 
Parents cling to their faith in God, the rock,
Trusting him to overcome impossibility.
Babe arrives and her parents’ eyes lock,
Filled with love and pride, despite her disability.
 
They care for the child around the clock
Months of faith and trust bring tranquility.
And the doctors are given quite a shock,
When she walks, not accepting impossibility.
 
She is an inspiration to everyone on her block
A shining light of joy, faith and possibility.
Always waiting for opportunity to knock,
She refuses to be stopped by her disability.
