Description: I had a c section July 24th, my son was born at 25 weeks (almost 6 months) he is only 1.12oz now and 13 incles long...he is so beautiful. Things will be hard but I've never been more ready for these new sets of challenges...it is all for him and I couldnt love him more.
To my son~1lb9oz~ -------------------------------------------
My life has changed
and my head is still spinning
so much has happened
I'm not sure of all its reality.
But one thing is certain
I will never be the same.
I coulnt bear to live without you
now that I understand
the importance of you in my life.
Every second I cannot be with you
seems to tear me apart
but I know it will not be long
till we are together
so I will await you
my special one.
I will keep all my thoughts about you
hoping you are well
hoping you are safe
praying for your return to me.
This feels so hopeless sometimes
and I've become fustrated
but you are so strong
yet so very small.
You will be my greatest miracle
the most wonderful gift I could of ever recieved
and to think
I didnt even know
ooo00oo0kkk then.... it was pretty cool but some parts wrecked it a lil like But one thing is certain I will never be the same. I coulnt bear to live without you i will never be the same part was great but the i couldnt bear to.... yeah it just doesnt fit correctly maybe you should add a words or make it read...
And (or because) you know i cant live with out you...
its just better because it ends that part and gets it ready to start the next stanza even though you didnt break it apart... well there was alot of emotion in this but i still dont really understand compleetly what its meaning was but over all it was cool
To have a child...that alone is a miracle...your son will pull through this...and be even more of a miracle. I can feel all the love you have. I have a daughter that spent 6 days in the hospital a few months after she was born. To see the I.V.'s in them...and how the nurses constantly tend to them...you feel so helpless. Your own child...and all you can do is sit back and give them love.
BUT...it is the love...that will actually pull the child through.
I've said this time and time again...it is amazing how we all take for granted having healthy babies. when in fact so many things can go wrong or happen. I was fortunate to have had two healthy babies though I did have a scare with my daughter...seems she was playing jump rope with the umbilical cord so she needed to be resuscitated when she delivered. (also c-section)
again this is a personal write so there is nothing to critique, only emotions that can be shared.
It's amazing isn't it? To realize that you have brought a new life into this world. That you've participated in the creation of "someone". Gave me goosebumps when mine were born. Congratualtions! A very beautiful and heartfelt poem. I see nothing that I would change at all. Bill
good work...i have a new son too, but you made me understand how I would feel if his health were in question. It takes quite a poet to put me in their shoes. thanks for the read! CJ
This poem's subject and the sentiment I can't critique. I too am a mother although my children are grown and I know the feeling of wonderment and amazement and total happiness you are feeling. And oh my such a tiny little fellow you are blessed with. Congratulation on your baby! `always write poetry, Cheryl.
i enjoyed your poem... though i can not relate... it does seem to have quite a mothers touch though... i will never be a mother so i can not quite relate... but the poem gave me a pretty good idea how you felt... i liked it... enjoy
It's always amazing when someone brings a new life into this world. It is harsh but that's what the mothers are for, to comfort and shield them from all the pain. But don't go overboard too, you want them to learn from their mistakes. I have no doubt you won't be a great mother! Just by reading this poem, i believe you could be one of the very best! Congrats and enjoy your new baby boy! ChaosSubmission
The little ones are stronger than we think. When my cousin's son was born, he had to have open heart surgery. We saw him 2 days later and aside from the scar, you never would've known he even had surgery. Nice tribute to your son. Hope you both are fully recovered soon (I know how sore those c-sections can leave you - my wife had 2).
Hi sister! You brought my first little nephew into the world. He is so precious too! I was worried about your health though and still am. I want you to know that i can be there in a flash anytime you need me. I dont care how. Little dougie is a great addition to the family. COngratulations sister.
