Her joy was
eclipsed by the pain
The little girl she
had always
dreamed of
was fighting for her life
Not even a day old
and her tiny little
body could not
keep anything down
A doudinal Web is
what the doctors said
how can this be
what does it mean
She has to have
surgery if she
has any hope to survive
lying there with those
IV's sticking out
of every where
piericing her delicate
skin and causing her
to bleed
Mommy is here
but no touch can
she give
unable to even hold
her all she
can do is collapse
to the floor
Tears fill her eyes
and stream down her
cheeks as she
sees her baby
hooked up to machines
Will she ever get
to hold her, take her
home and watch her grow
