Ashton

Ashton, As He Should Be Audio Clip

The photo shows a pink-cheeked baby in a big red Christmas box,

In front of a white Christmas tree,

But who knew just what a precious gift that little baby would be?

God knew, because God made him

God made Ashton just as he should be…2, 3, 4!

They call him Sam, they call him Bubba,

This boy is brimming over with love

At five-and-a-half, he cares so deeply

He knows what it means to have empathy

He’s confident, honest, funny and smart

He loves his music and he loves his art

He loves to sing and feel a good beat

He’s Ashton, made just as he should be

Ashton knows love and Ashton shows love…

He’s a loving friend and a caring big brother

He walks with his daddy and he talks with his mother

Hearing stories ‘bout when he was a wee baby

When he was made just as he should be,

How two little girls would join those three

First little Kayleigh and then baby Chloe

To make a five-fold forever family, just as they should be

Ashton knows a lot - he’s learning every day

He’s been to Tucson to explore the bat caves

He wants to see the Pyramids and planets in space

But do you know his favorite place?

It’s home with his family around a board game

Home with his family who all adore him

His five-fold, forever family, just as God made ‘em

Just as they should be
