I was born 25th April 1997,
Premature with a weight of 2 pound 6.
I was born very very small,
Mummy couldn't even feel my kicks.
I was too small to feel anything,
But I was swimming in acid water.
I knew Mummy was awaiting the day,
She'd see her brand new daughter.
That day was delayed,
Daddy had to sign a form stating the doctors could only try their best.
The birth went smoothly,
But I was told as a baby Mummy was going for a very long rest.
I awaited the day that Mummy would wake up,
But she was taking quite a long time.
The man spoke of a coma by whispering in Daddy's ear,
I didn't know what that meant but i knew that Mummy was fine.
One day Daddy layed me on her chest,
And Mummy felt my heart beat with hers.
I couldn't see properly yet but she was waking up!
I could feel her breath on my head and feel her light stirs.
Some say we were a miracle,
But I knew Mummy would wake up.
I was held in my parents hands,
Like a little tea cup
(This is actually what happened. It's a true story. This is how I was born and i wouldn't have it any other way.)
