Selena made me a very proud dad tonight so I thought I would share with our YouTube family her amazing poem.

Daniel's A Survivor

Heart skipped a beat
The unbearable horror of parent's cruel decisions
Loss of time with first family
Visions, memories of what could have been a family
Once a mother
So many heart breaks
So many chances out the door
Love for his family gone
His heart shattered like the glass he got blamed for breaking
When will the horror end

Out of the darkness
Shadows fade away behind Daniel
Memories and flashbacks coming to an end
A family is joy to Daniel
Butterflies instead of bats
Sunshine glows in his heart
In love with his new family
What could have been a mother
Transformed into two fathers
Not everything revolves around faith
Because following Daniel through his journey
Was a small black fluffy dog
It was family before anything
Because love is what makes a family a family
