*written after 9/11/01*
Little Boy, newly born
Mommy & Daddy hold you tight
Protecting you against the world
Of Terror, hate, and fright.
Keeping you safe and sound
From all these things
Keeping you cuddled in love
With toys, hugs and baby swings
You won't grow up in fear
Not if we can protect
For we are standing strong
We deserve the world's respect!
Little Boy, newly born
Surrounded by love
Caring, comfort and safety
As given by God above.
Note: Our newborn had been diagnosed with his liver disease a few days before 9/11 & was going to have his life saving surgery a week after 9/11. Seeing the 2nd plane hit the tower on live TV, watching people jump so they wouldn't burn alive... I was terrified to take my son to the hospital, what happens if they attack a children's hospital?
That day was the worst & most terrifying day of my life.
