Premmie Poem

[mytwoangels]

( I wrote this poem today for a friend who has recently had a premmie baby; feel free to use it in cards etc if anyone likes it- hope it brings some comfort)


Fight My Baby
You were so eager to meet the world
So keen to start your day
Determined from the beginning
You started on your way.

We were surprised by your arrival
And just a little bit upset
But those feelings all washed away
The first moment that we met.

Precious as a china doll,
Perfect finger and toes,
Tiny beautiful little ears
And the cutest little nose

This thin pane of glass between us
Feels like a million miles
I dream of days years from now
Filled with your perfect smiles

I watch your tiny chest rise and fall
with each tiny breath you take
The monitors make my heart jump
With every soft beep they make.

To feel your skin against mine
To hold you in my arms
To look upon your content face
To keep you safe from harm

Fight my beautiful baby boy
Ahead are days of play,
Laughter, love, star-shining nights
The fresh breeze on a hot day

Each good wish for you
Is a glittery star in the sky
Filling our hearts with love and hope
And helping us to get by

You will grow strong and well soon
That day is just around the bend
Fight my beautiful baby boy
And our broken hearts will mend
