[♥Lynda♥]

I have a 4 yr old son with Autism and some days are a struggle to cope but then he smiles at me or if I am very lucky a quick hug and it makes the world bright again. I found this song and I had tears falling as it is so beautiful. If you actually want to hear his beautiful voice the link is http://www.markleland.net/markleland.net/HOME1.html



"Missing Pieces"
Mark Leland/Tim Calhoun
Mallory Records/Nashville 2005

Verse 1:
It was a mid December evening,
in a room of heavy breathing,
When I looked into my baby's eyes,
And like the ships that sail the ocean,
he had captured my emotions,
and wrapped them up just like a gift
at Christmas time,
I thanked the Lord above that he was mine
I prayed to God that everything was fine,

Verse 2:
And after months we saw him changing,
Nathaniel's speech was rearranging,
So we took him back to see what they could fine,
And after ironing out the creases,
They came up with missing pieces,
And they told us that Autism's on the rise,
I looked into my little baby's eyes,
I promised him to find the reasons why,

Chorus 1:
Now I lay him down to sleep
I pray the Lord my son could speak,
And make him strong, where he is weak,
This I ask of YOU...
And just like him, there's many more,
That need out help to win this war,
Cause who knows what might lay in store,
To help them make it through.

Bridge:
The doctor says, there's so much more to do,
to put the pieces back together,
but it's up to me and you

Chourus 2:
So now we lay them down to sleep
And pray the Lord they all could speak,
Please make them strong, where they are weak,
This we ask of You..
Cause now we know there's so many more
That need out help to win this war,
And who knows what might lay in store,
To help them make it through.
Yes, who knows what might lay in store,
The missing piece is me and you...
