Please God

My daughter was in the hospital for nine month after she was born with gastrointestinal problems. she's doing amazing now, but there was a time when the doctors where not sure if she'd make it and i took one of my half finished poems and turned into this.

Your twilight presence, I stir in my sleep.

Dream like statue marks my defeat.

Hands coming down, cradling me.

Turning to sand, covering me.

We're falling again. In and out of the psyche.

We're moving again, struggling and striving.

Counting the stars, counting on God still.

Promising everything for courage and will.

Holding my breath now, I know where we are,

And I've never been so scared. Life is so hard.

I have no one to blame, yet I get so mad.

I feel like I'm loosing all that I have.

She holds my dreams up and casts them into the skies.

She will never know why her mommy cries.

But love is the gift, all I can give

And I pray with my heart that he'll let her live.
