Want to hear more about Jake? We'd love to talk to any parents that have a TOF child. Nothing helps more than knowing others who have been there.

The Chosen One

I had a dream the other night,
It came to me so clear.
I stood before the throne of God,
afraid to come too near.
God said to me "I hear your prayers,
there's answers you can't find.
I asked you here to talk to me
and help to ease your mind"
I said "Well yes God, I am disturbed
about my special one.
That punishment is awfully harsh.
Whatever have I done?"
God looked at me and shook his head
and said "You've got it wrong.
I sent this special child to you
because you are so strong"
"I searched and searched to try and find
someone with love so rare.
A parent so unselfish they could
give that special care.
I try and save my special gifts
like those your speaking of
for special kinds of parents
I call the chosen ones"
Of all the ones to choose from,
I think this I have done.
A parent who deserves my best,
an honor you have won.
