Survivor

This is a poem I wrote about my friends baby Laela who was born very premature and had multiple health issues and it was touch and go for such a long time. I nursed Laela , helped and supported my friend daily, so Laela holds a special place in my heart. She is a healthy three year old now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lovely little Laela So small yet so strong Fighting such big battles And not been here very long You entered this world to early Taking mum and dad by surprise Just one look at you Laela There was love in their eyes You have a journey ahead of you To get where you need to be A little girl who is beautiful Strong and healthy With such determination And hardy irish blood In no time you will blossom Like a tiny flower bud
