Not yet five months into this world of misfortune and lies
Tubes, oxygen my little one survives
Staying strong, even though she can't tell me what's wrong
Little eyes crying out
As I'm trying to figure out
What can I do as a mother to help her pull through
O, I know; comfort, wipe tears, be here for always that's what I'll do
Sitting, rocking, stroking the soft strands of hair
Subconsciously thinking, is this my last time seeing these walls
I want to be home with my little one
Not here as they poke and stick, keeping her awake as her happiness falls
For the moment when she's peaceful as the heavens above
She's screaming yelling, just for them to find more problems
I keeping giving her my love as it keeps replenishing
Finally, we made it home
Yet, depended on medicine to stop the return of those fore shaking walls
She makes it, we make it
For inside lives the will power for life
That she has not made plans on giving up
For my little one is STILL HERE
