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
