It gave me you.
On the table
Naked and exposed
Bright lights
Covered in cords
Legs go numb
Awake I lie
In suspense we wait
Will we hear your cry?
Pressure and tugging
They drop the drapes
As they pull you out
He’s here! They shout
I see you through a plastic sheet
a surreal feeling to finally meet
As they start to stitch me up
A chest pain so intense
They lay your head beside mine
a love so immense
To NICU
They whisk you away
Arms empty
Just wish you could stay
Eager to come see you
I faint to the floor
My body just couldn’t take any more
The following days
I cry out in pain
Feeling as if I’ll never be the same
But such a beautiful scar
To remind me how
ive come so far
Id do it again and again
To put your life over mine
To bring you safely into the world
My double rainbow, my sunshine"
