A Fathers Wish

Just found out that my baby might be born at 24 weeks and there is a 70 percent Chance that he or she will live so this is what came out

Was it something I did wrong?

Was this gods plan all along?

Putting chains on me breaking me down

Just push me I want to drown

Or take my life

Save my babies life so it can go on

 

Just tell me the truth

Did I somehow betray you?

I can handle rain covering my head

But please don’t take my babies life

I don’t’ want the doctor to say,

There was nothing we could do

 

Never knowing what could have been?

I have so much to say

So my baby holds on

I want to hold you in my arms

This is what I have been trying to do

There is so more space in my heart

I want to say that I love you

 

My tears fall as I pray for you

Telling god to save your life

I don’t know what to do with-out you in my life

Please god, give me some advice

I can’t have this take all my heart

But it will make me feel apart

Dreading everyday as I get dark

 

It’s not your destiny to die

I want you to live past my life

You will be our little miracle that will make it through this

With these hands I pray so you can have a life to begin

I know that you are strong

And when I get to hold you in my arms

I will give you all of my heart

So please god grant me my wish
