Ode to My Baby
Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough
Conceived out of Love is what you are Not even knowing how far your journey was to be In the beginning or your procreation... Excited and exhilarated to know that Life was forming inside
Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough I thank God for his redeeming grace
Unaware and unprepared is what we were Scared and confused at times is what I was Yet all we know was that it had to be all God's doing As it was difficult for me to conceive
Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough Yes with my Lord I pressed on
In order to make it work everyday I in my bed every night and weekend I laid Propped up on plush pillows just to reduce the pain Many tears and cries were made from day to day
Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough For we are nothing without HIM
So much pain was formed Stressed out and insecure Worried about that would become of my family I prayed so desperately to form
Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end
Force feed yourself; yup that's what the doctor said As I lost the appetite to eat and only wanted to work then lay in bed From this persona and that person telling me what I should do I simply know that only God could see my through
Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough Yes Christ carried me all the way
Life I had taken for granted way to many times But it wasn t until at 23 weeks your little life was on the line Brothas and Sistahs rallied together and prayed As I was rushed to the hospital for what had ruptured is my membrane
Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough He never gives us more then we can bare
Thirteen days in the post-partum unit in strict bed rest I never imagined how difficult it was to have to eat food from my chest Oh I so wanted to get up if only for just a minute To stretch my legs and arch my back I know what was my limit
Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough All we need is that muster seed Faith
But God said I will make a miracle for you And on February 2nd you weren't even due At 1 pound 10 ounces you entered this world Feisty is what the nurses called you And before they rolled you out with eyes opened wide You look at me as if to say Mommy, I love you
Ooh Yes Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough But with out God neither of us would be here
Now for 101 days you grew in that NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) Up and down the highway we all flew To see this child made by God There were days I would come in feeling upset and a little odd But there I would look upon your face And all those feelings would dissipate
Oh Yes again Oh the journey was rough Oh the journey was tough Thank you for sending your only begotten Son
From surgery, chronic lung disease, a mass taking up 80% of your left lung, To five infections, two spinal taps, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).. Just to look back at all of what you went through to join the human race Yet so many of us take life for granted. Complaining we are going through some life threatening case
Yes my Son, My redeemer of Faith Indeed t he journey was rough Oh yes the journey did seem tough And now with a lightened heart I thank God for this journey That today not just one but both of us are here
Mommy LOVES YOU
NEVER DID I THINK I COULD LOVE A PERSON ANY MORE UNTIL I HAD MY SON....HE IS SUCH A JOY TO ME....MY LITTLE MIRACLE BABY BORN AT 1 POUND 10 ONCES....NOW LOOK AT HIM....GOD IS SO GOOD!!!   |
