When I think back to the day I first saw you
I remember how beautiful you were.

I didn't mean to plan your life for you, it just happened.

I looked forward to the day when you would play with your brothers, I looked forward to the day when you'd take your first steps, I looked forward to the day when you'd start going to school.

I didn't mean to plan your  life, it just happened.

You are so beautiful and I can't believe that my little boy is not the same.

I feel a loss and sadness for the things you may never know, I feel a loss and sadness for the dreams you may never have, I feel a loss and sadness for the limits you may face, and I pray to GOD that you will survive through these very tough tomorrows...

I will always love you, my son.  I can't help but to cry at this which I just do not understand.

I promise that I will always be there for you, that I will always support your every second of life no matter how it may be compared to mine.

And as I see through your eyes, I can't help but smile; for from in here, everything is all right.  You are truly a diamond in the rough.

I love you Vincent....your Dad!
As I awaken every day, I think of things I'd like to do, never even thinking about what I can or cannot do.

I might go out to ride a bike, I might go out to lift some weights, I might go out and take a drive, never thinking about what I can do or cannot do.

But when I look at you I start to cry because inside I know you're not like me.

I think of things you may not be able to do, like ride a bike or drive a car.

I cannot help but summarize a life that limited compared to mine.

And at times when I see you smile and laugh, I see you kicking, playing and making little noises I realize how little I know and the truth is that I'm not like you...
YOU'RE NOT LIKE ME I'M NOT LIKE YOU
YOU'RE A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
Vincents "Wake Up Song"
I woke up this morning to this little smile
You had been awake for more than just a while
Kicking, punching, making many little sounds
You were ready to get up.  You were ready to be fed.

You said "Get OFF!" Daddy get on up!
You said "Wake UP!" Daddy start your day!
I' ve been waiting for you for a while why don't you get on up?
You said "Get OFF!" Daddy rise and shine!
You said "Wake UP!" Lets begin our day!
There are so many things I need to do and let's start out our day!
I want to eat.

I am hungry and I haven't had a bite to eat all night.
Please wake up dad!  My tummy's empty and its calling out my name.
So get on up, make me a bottle full of food.
Pro me up and feed me so that I can grow up big and strong.
I need to eat.  I love to feel my tummy smile.
Feed me Dad!

I'll be happy then.  So glad you got on up.
I'll be happy then.  So glad you gave me food.
I'll be happy then.  So glad we started out our brand new day.
Thank you dad!  Now I'll sit here with a smile and let you rest again.
Till once again I get the urge to eat!
Then feed me Dad!

Poems written by my Dad
          Decade
A decade now has come and gone
And the pain that you've endured

No battle won, No battle lost
Just an everlasting fight

Although I do not understand
You're here with Love to give

You don't give up, you do not quit
A source of hope for us

No matter what we think of life
You remind us all to stop

When little things are no longer worth seeking
Dissapointment is sure to follow

So slow down, listen, look and hear
Life is happening...and it only happens once

Those little things are precious and if we take the time to see
Life itself is precious and worth those little things

Soon enough you'll notice that little is in fact big
A decade full of magic and the enormous gift you bring

Thank You my little angel
I hope I do you proud

You're a fine example of... the miracle you truly are
With love for now and ever......
          Without You
Without you
I am without me
