Breathe Jessica Breathe.
I look upon her little face,
I can not see a sign,
My heart beat quickens, starts to race,
Don't take this child of mine,
I scream the scream the world can here,
A panic gets it's grip,
There seems to be nobody near,
I cannot take this trip,
Her in my arms, limp as a rag,
I bang on many doors,
My inner strength, I have to drag,
From deep within my core.
The lights are on, there's no one home,
Somebody help me please!
Her face so blue, it's not the norm,
I give a massive squeeze.
I here a yelp, a little sound,
her chest does start to rise,
I hold her close as though we're bound,
as i can here her cries,
Her color starts to reappear,
relief is clear to see,
Never have I felt such fear,
Or strength inside of me.
