Don't Let Go

Hand in hand,

Hand in hand, One by One

Waiting,

Waiting, Fidgeting,

Waiting, Fidgeting, Hurting

I never wanted it...

I never wanted it... It all used to be perfect.

Until it wasn't

The past was so memorable

The past was so memorable i t f u u a l e B

The past was so memorable i t f u u a l i e r o B o u l s G

And now...

I don't know

Slowly,

Slowly, Carefully,

Slowly, Carefully, Shaking in Fear

The white hospital swallowed up all HOpE

But there,

But there, Sitting,

But there, Sitting, Smiling

"Mother"

"Mother" I whispered

She turned and smiled

All fear,

All fear, All unsureness...

All fear, All unsureness... Gone

And cradled in her arms...

And cradled in her arms... A child A baby boy

Mother beckoned me forward, Holding her Tenderly

Maybe this could work

Maybe this could work It didn't have to end

I took a step

I took a step Then another

I took a step Then another My arms extended, waiting

I took a step Then another My arms extended, waiting Then...

She swaddled​ in my arms, drooling.

I wiped it off with shaking hands

My face, hidden

My face, hidden A hand on my shoulder

"Mother"

"Mother" I cried

"Mother" I cried "Will you love me too?"

She looked me straight in the eyes

a single tear dripping from her cheeks

"Yes"

"Yes" she said

"Yes" she said Reaching out

Love in her warm embrace

For me

For me For my new baby sister

Don't let go

Don't let go
