Miracle boy

A young boy
No older than the age of thirteen
Had a life altering night
Like one of a bad dream
The sound of a bullet
screams past his head
As the second one pierced
He should have been dead
Chino conquered all odds
He astonished the doctor
As he returned to his mother
And sister and brother
He fought long and hard
He could have moved a mountain
He was determined and strong
With loved ones around him
What a joy to watch
this young man take a step
When so many days
I've cried, I've wept
He survived
And will keep on surving
His story full of hope
Although a dark storm
He was a presence of
bright lightning
