Icu Baby

Seconds, minutes, days, weeks, years Now I just cry happy tears Since the day that I found out What miracles are all about A helpless baby small and frail Tiny lungs not being able To help breath life into A preemie who's precious and new Always staying by your side Watching tubes keep you alive Sending prayers up every night Never giving up the fight That soon you'll be coming home Breathing on your very own Doctors, nurses, families too Forms a group support for you New crib, toys and teddy bears Fill a room with no one there Sadness turned to joy one day When I heard the doctor say No more tubes for little one Months of treatment finally done Now your home where you belong Being healthy--- staying strong Playing, crawling, having laughs Safe and loved from a bad past
