On 2 January 2019, we were blessed with a gift from God (Matthias), who we pray will grow into a follower of God (James). Matthias James Luu was safely born at 5.06pm (local time), weighing 3.205kg (7lbs).

A gift is a something special
You know not what you get
Even when you do suspect
You truly do not know as yet

Our little boy, Matthias
Gift given from the Lord
A gift with Down’s Syndrome
Our lives will never be bored

But do not be sorry for us
Do not at all be sad
Instead rejoice in this gift
For we are blessed and glad

He is a gift given to us
But please make no mistake
We are not at all dejected
For God will not forsake

Know he is our child
Forever he will be
Treat this gift like any other
A life, a child, a baby

He will keep us up at night
He will make us worry
Just like our other kids
He will still learn to say sorry

He will fill us with laughter
He will bring us many joys
Just like our other kids
He will probably break his toys

This gift is a something special
You know not what you get
For his days are just beginning
A day we will not soon forget
