October 8, 2004 was the day
That my life kind of changed in a way.
It happened under the Friday night lights
In a football game I loved to play on nights.
After a hit I couldn't breathe or move.
I guess you can say I lost my groove.
It's too bad we lost, it was a shame.
Both of my parents were at the game.
They were calm and ever so strong,
Even though they didn't know what was wrong.
Too many people and so little time
To thank everyone following me through
This path of mine.
I graduated in 2005 with my class.
The accident is now a thing of the past.
Now I'm in college in search of a career.
I know it is going to be hard but I am prepared.
I know I'm going to walk one day
So I am not letting anything stand in my way.
This wheelchair hasn't slowed me down one bit.
Just continue to pray because I'll get through it.
Without faith in God, I don't know where I would be.
I'm going to be his miracle child, just wait and see!
