An "oldie but goodie"

I was cleaning up around my desk and found this poem I wrote about prematurity and wanted to share. I think I may have written it for the March of Dimes last year but I don't really remember....anyway, here it is....

A premature baby

Born too early, too small

Regardless of his size

He is the strongest of them all

Surgeries, tubes, wires

Daily heel pricks and more

Think of all the pain

His little body must endure

It will be a roller coaster ride

His doctors and nurses say

As his Mother and Father

You just bow your head and pray

And hope that the ride

Isn't very long

And that you as his parent

Can be only half as strong

With God's will

And all the research being done

That day will soon come

When the fight with prematurity

Will be WON!!!
