Around the world young Tristan flew
to play a sport that wasn't new.
The night droned on until the dawn.
His team arrived in old Taiwan.
We all believed this handsome lad
was our bright, gifted Galahad.
He played this soccer game with flair.
Just try to stop him if you dare.
Though he was poised for this great game,
his world might never be the same.
A stroke would shut his body down
as teammates fought to bring him 'round.
His trainers realized his fate
and rushed to help their friend and mate.
The crew stepped up and found a ride.
An ambulance that turned the tide.
A surgeon's skillful hands were trained.
A young man's life was what was gained.
His momma waited by the phone --
assured her son was not alone.
First chance, she too was on a flight
that took her to relieve her fright.
Though this dark night was not her choice,
her joy rang out to hear his voice.
A perfect storm was in their sight.
It roared and howled throughout the night.
But Mom and fam'ly shared a prayer
creating bonds with love to spare.
A miracle took place that dawn
around the world in old Taiwan.
A mother feared what might have been
but God was there, His love transcends.
‘Twas answered prayer that saved the day
when love came down and showed the way.
A second chance at life began
for Tristan is a MIRACLE MAN.
