This was written for another mother who eventually lost her preemie baby. It again expresses the heart. It may comfort you. Terry.
Why Was I Born So Early?
I felt my mommy's heart beat such comfort in my soul
Not a worry in my little life I never knew the cold
I grew and stretched and used my limbs the gravity could not hold
My tiny life was forming in the flesh of mommy's fold.
Darkness was my friend and my eyes could not yet see
My hands and arms that waved around in this calm warm sea
My tummy knew no hunger constant blood met every need
I grew and grew much bigger as I felt secure and free.
What happened to me early I have no way to know.
The comfort of my mummy's heart was gone I felt alone.
Cruel white filled my vision and my eyes began to moan.
Where was that soothing bliss of fluid and constant feel of tone?
Once I felt so strong and I moved with sense of strength.
Now the walls of strong security no longer held my length.
A strong force weighed me down and I had no more defense.
My little life was changing as my muscles began to tense.
. I kept on being jabbed with discomfort pricks of pain.
My cries went out so often but they were lost in vain
My voice could not be heard as I tried my mummy's name.
Her voice it seemed so distant and she was so far away.
My life is always struggle as I strain for health and peace.
I do wish all these pains and ills would finally come to cease
My world is one you know though I can not understand
Why I am born so early was it chance or was it planned?
