Premature Baby Prayers
God bless the little child behind the plastic wall
For all he knows is the ringing of the bells and
the blurred images around him. He has been taken
from my womb without warning and I long to hold him
in my arms.
Lord, I ask in your name that my child be healed.
I am willing to accept your decision no matter what
it will be. I am willing to take on the responsibilities
for caring for this child. I am willing to give this
child love and understanding no matter the cost.
Please Lord help me to accept reality and what has
happened without explanation or warning. Help me
face the fact that this is not my fault and that
I was given a special task to complete here on Earth.
God give my child the strength to make it through another
second, minute, hour and day as each moment is
a blessing and a triumph from heaven.
God, may you give the strength and compassion
to the caregivers and nurses that take care of my child
May you keep my child protected and free from all injury
and pain.
Please take away the guilt and burden from my heart dear
Lord. It is heavy and I feel it is all my fault.
Take it away dear Lord. Sweet Jesus allow me the stregnth
and understanding I need to communicate with the Doctors
and Nurses.
As you see dear Lord, I am at your mercy for the life of
my child. Please leave him here on Earth and know that
I will provide all the love and understanding that
this child needs. I accept the challenge and will be
your humble servant dear Lord.

Little Miracles
By Sue Argy, May, 1997.
This poem was written for my daughter Jennifer Lynne, born Jan. 14, 1996, and has PVL, ROP, BPD and CP. She is the light of our life, and has become our "life's little teacher".
I have a little miracle,
that I would like to share.
God has sent me an angel,
That I handle with great care.
She came too soon, she came too small.
Who would help her through it all?
I know that it is you, Lord,
You would never let us fall.
They tell me she will not walk, Lord.
Will you carry her?
They say she will not talk, Lord.
Will you speak for her?
Why do things happen,
to cause such pain?
Suffering and sorrow,
Please God, pull us from the rain.
We need a ray of sunshine,
to see the day through.
We need a bit of faith, Lord.
Can we count on you?
Please give me strength
.Please give me hope.
Let us know we're not alone.
Please let me see her future,
Is filled with hopes and dreams,
Little pink bows and carousels,
It's brighter than it seems.
You handed me a miracle,
For this I know is true.
I look into her eyes, Lord.
Dark skies turn into blue.
I see that ray of sunshine,
I feel that you are there.
I know that it is with your love,
You lift us up with care.
Thank you for my miracle,
And all that you have done.
To give me strength, to give your love,
To show us your bright sun.
My ray of sunshine has come through,
As I hold her in my arms.
My faith has grown but stronger, Lord.
As I cherish her great charms.
You have handed me a miracle,
A tiny little miracle.
