When I Became a Heart Mother..... One day my world came crashing down, Ill never be the same. They told me that my child was sick... I thought, am I to blame? I dont think I can handle this... Im really not that strong. It seemed my heart was breaking... As, Id loved him for so long. I will not give up on this child...despite your best advice. I will give my child a chance...No matter what the price. And I will learn all that I need...to help my child to thrive. Ill even use that feeding tube... My child will survive! Will he require therapy? What if he cant gain weight? Alright God I can do this...I will not curse our fate. The feeding pump beeps, at 3:00 a.m. It serves as my reminder... How many parents would welcome that sound? Tomorrow Lord, I will be kinder. Another angel earns their wings... and I run to my sleeping childs bed... I watch him then, for quite awhile... Bend down and kiss his head Then I cry for the parents whose lives have been broken, And I look to God wondering why? Oh Lord, I just cant know your ways... No matter how I try. And yet, I trust You to hold his life, And guide us through each day My mind says savor each moment hes here... But my heart whispers, Please let him stay. From... pacing the surgical waiting room... to sitting by his hospital bed... From... wishing for a good nights sleep...to learning every med... From wondering will he be alright? To watching him reach out his hands. With every smile, my heart just melts.. despite lifes harsh demands For all who see that faded line...I look to them and smile... You see, my child is loved so much... I would face any trial. That same scar I trace with my finger... Its the door to his beautiful heart I never guessed how much Id love him... Just as YOU loved him right from the start A heart mom is always a heart mom... Now wise beyond her years And for those who have angels in heaven... Our hearts share in all of your tears. Everyday I will strive to remember... You chose me for him and no other And I will embrace that beautiful day... When I became a heart mother. ~Stephanie Husted
