Broken

I wrote this about my three year old son who has a tumor on his brain. He goes into surgery to remove it in the morning.

Her Diamonds - Rob Thomas

Here I sit brokenhearted
Praying that my son
Does not become one of the departed

I will never forget how it all started
Three years ago
He began capturing hearts

Through birth pains he came in
Unknown to us his brain altered its image
But hid its true intentions

Now he is asleep
Deep in a dream
Of Thomas the choo choo train and chocolate ice cream

I fear the worst
But pray for the best
This is truly my greatest test

He is my first born
Him I truly adore
So I cry on the floor

I must be strong
I must remain calm

His last words before they put him to sleep
Play over and over like a heartbeat
"Daddy you make me feel better."
"Yes my son," as I kiss him on the cheek

Author's Note

Please review and rate. I do not care about the grammar one bit. All those who do I will update on his status tomorrow after his surgery. Thank you all in advance for reading.

[Katie Louise Hughes]

OH MY! This made my eyes teary and gave me goosebumps. It's hard enough to go through something like this, I can relate very much as so many other people can also. Thanks for sharing this, and you have left it in God's hands- he'll take care of him.
