Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Zion shared a self-written poem centred on acceptance as he comes to terms with the day-to-day reality of seeing his daughters with the condition, as well as praising Jesy as a mum.
He read: ‘They said it’s unlikely you’ll walk, you may not be able to talk, probably won’t be able to hold your head up, that’s what me and Jesy heard – SMA Type 1.
‘And it became so clear, doctors only go near what they can measure, so what’s certain?
‘I watch your smiles like sunsets, not promised, but real. I listen to you babble the sweetest melodies, in the moment it makes me wonder, if I keep telling you who I want you to be, what I want you to do, what I expect from you, am I loving you, or am I loving my fear?
‘If I take you for how God knitted you, just as you are, nothing removed, am I loving you? Am I accepting you?’
He added: ‘Story, is your heart okay? Ocean, how’s your mind? I hear strength in your lungs every time you cry, two little warrior girls who already know how to fight.

‘Honestly, my worry isn’t the milestones, isn’t forcing life to live a different way. My worry is quieter than that, deeper. It’s about accepting you, loving you for who you are right now, without conditions.
‘No matter what tomorrow brings, and no matter what yesterday was.’
Captioning the post, he praised Jesy for highlighting England’s lack of birth screening for SMA Type 1.
He wrote: ‘We are all one. Jesy addressing a huge flaw in our healthcare system is the definition of a superwoman.
