No Rush

As I gaze upon your tiny hands, I see
My baby girl, my angel, how precious is she
I watched you grow, safe in your Mother's womb
Now my hands can touch you, in your little room

As the hours pass, I just want to be by your side
My thoughts, my feelings, I just want to confide
You are my gift, my prayers heard and answered
A blessed miracle has truly occurred

I get to watch you grow, but not yet take you home
My Love for you I can begin to show with this poem
When your tiny hand grips my finger, I smile
I know I will get to hold you after awhile

Tears fill my eyes from time to time, as I wonder
As I look at those tubes, I hope they don't bother
I am sorry, sweetheart, if they cause you discomfort
I Love you so much, I don't want to see you hurt

Know that Mommy and Daddy Love you with all our heart
Even plastic walls cannot keep us apart
I have felt your touch, as I know you have felt mine
Here you are safe, and I know you will be fine.
