The following poem was on Stephanie's blog tonight. I cannot write about anything else because I cannot THINK about anything else!
I just read the whole account of Baby William's story tonight and am in tears.
I am sure I will not sleep tonight....Baby Emmie Rose needs an miracle!!!!!!!!!
A Plea for Emmie-Rose
Lord, We're down on our knees tonight
The same place we've been every single night
Praying against the awful odds
We're hoping this plea can be heard
See Emmie-Rose here, she needs Your help
We've done all we can do ourselves
The doctors they just don't seem to understand
We loved her before she was born
She's a fighter and just needs a helping hand
Lord help us, we're sure You'll understand
Each night as she sleeps
Our sweet baby Emmie-Rose
We just want to keep
We go in to hold her tiny hand
Give her kisses on her nose while we try not to cry
Gotta be strong for our hero, please don't make her die
We smile sadly through the tears and give a little sigh
In this land the tiniest have to fight for their lives
Sometimes it seems they don't have that right
We love her and promise to be her voice
Lord, Can You hear us?
Are we getting through tonight?
Lord, Can You see her?
Can You make her feel alright?
Can you weigh upon the hearts
Of the ones who hold the key to her life?
And let them give her what she needs
It's a plea from the heart
From a mother and a father
Who know all you need
Is Love for Emmie-Rose, our daughter
written with Love,
