When I heard id be a mother
Those 5 years ago
It all seemed like a dream
Until my tummy it did grow

I'd never held a baby
Or rocked a babe to sleep
But in my heart I knew from then
The promise i would keep.

I'd keep my baby warm
And soothe her when she'd cry
Id tell her everyday
she was my wish from in the sky.

When you become a parent
No one does tell you how
But for that love, that miracle
You take a silent vow;

To protect to teach and cherish
To hold close everyday
To try your best and put them first
In every single way.

This pregnancy is different
My third child on the way
I make that vow with every prayer
Hope hell be here to stay.

The doctors they have told me
There is no guarantee
That my son, he will come home
To sit upon my knee.

When he comes into the world
He will fight for his life
And in this I am helpless
Those words feel like a knife.

I can't tell him hell be ok
Or kiss away his fears
And when he can't take his first breath
Ill bathe beneath my tears.

I know the doctors are prepared
To do all that they can
But as a mother, I admit
I'd like to hold his hand.

And promise that ill be there
Let him know hell be alright
To my boy, I wish for you to
Do your best and fight.

I love you and i need you
If we survive the scary start
I will soothe you and protect
With my all my soul and all my heart.

Please be ok.
