Alyssa Grace
While in the womb, she seemed to be alright
No clues foretold the battle she would fight
She was born a week past when she was due
Yet promptly doctors knew things were askew
After her birth, she barely topped four pounds
She couldn’t breathe or make soft baby sounds
The doctors did not know what it could be
But then, to her parents’ angst, did agree
This precious and resplendent gift of God
Pulchritude within and on her façade
Hair like ebony silk and eyes like stars
Will so strong to overcome all her scars
This little one was diagnosed
With Trisomy 18, which causes most
Of those affected to die before birth
And other in their first year on earth
But this girl fought so hard to overcome
To beat the odds and never succumb
She pushed onward with every ounce she had
Refused to give up, fail, or just be sad
And now to this day she is still fighting
Making each day new, fresh, and exciting
She was thought beyond hope of surviving
Yet now is one years old, home and thriving~
