Preemie

They were babies wanting love, longing for comfort, scared yet ready for the world. Instead they were born just to tiny. They couldn't survive they were born now just fighting for there lives. There were oxygen tubes and feeding tubes; IVs in there tiny veins that was all anyone could see no one saw the tiny hope beating in there chest. No one understood that the preemie could understand more than just the pain and suffering that was all around it But they understood. They understood a world they were curious about that someone was fighting to save there life They understood there was a mother and father never leaving there side The preemie understood much more in a world were they were thought to have understood nothing at all.

In a high tech environment these babies try to connect with their parents while overstimulated by alarms and fluorescent lights...u made an excellent point in this write. Preemies do understand and have a desire to live. Appreciate your point of view so much. Gwendolen
