the year that was 2015
Two thousand and fifteen
What a crazy year you have been.
Hospitals, ambulances, therapies and more
practising patience seems to be our universal law.
We give thanks for our beautiful family and friends
Who span the globe to every single end
The continued love, support and hope
Makes us realise we’re not alone in our boat
And when the seas suddenly get wild and out of control
We take time to try and nurture each of our souls
Sleep has been our greatest victory
Which will certainly go down in our history
For this little tribe who have been living on the edge
run down and tired with the constant never-end
Car-travel is a close second let us not forget
Now we can leave the house without any regret
Chiara can finally manage the car-seat on her own
which has left her parents completely mind-blown
Almost three years of travel insanity
Which brought with it the odd profanity
Then micro-milestones however small,
make this family feel one hundred feet tall.
We are all so proud of Chiara
when she achieves something new
Then we celebrate with Chiara’s entire crew
Beautiful Grace what a gift you bring
Your spark, creativity and passion make our hearts sing
Your shining spirit glows so bright
Our divine daughter you are so full of light.
Our journey ahead is full of unknowns
from walking, talking, and movement with ease
But in the meantime we will continue to sew the seeds
And meet our daughters additional needs
As much as possible we will tried not to be afraid
because we need a clear space for miracles to be made
faith and hope we hold to tight, especially in those quiet moments
in the middle of the night
so thank you for the lessons, the beauty and grace
and the smile that beams from our daughters face
with curiosity and wonder we welcome a fresh new slate
and without a doubt, we know 2016 is going to be great!
