The Preemie Prayer

Dear God, as you look down upon us,
We know that you might have to squint.
We're located here in the NICU,
It's the nursury that we rent.

There are many alarms and sirens,
Connected to condos and flats.
The nurses tape our booties on,
And dress us in funny hats.

We have a lot in common:
All of us were in a hurry.
For many different reason,
Our storks came a little early.

Some of us don't know why,
We bursted out from our bubbles,
We entered into this world,
Never meaning to cause any troubles.

Mommy and Daddy are worried sick,
About the odds that we must beat.
Please God, help them to realize,
That seeing us grow is a treat.

Breath by breath, we'll learn to breath.
Ouncy by ounce we'll tip the scale.
We're like a big boat in the ocean,
That knows not to sink-only sail.

For we are living miracles,
Mommy and Daddy must simply believe,
That you have angels watching over us;
From the time we arrive, till the time we leave.

Just wanted to share this beautiful prayer my dear cousin Vianca found for me, I keep it by my bed and read it when I feel discouraged!!!
