A little boy's heart born incomplete
Life's just begun yet darkness greets
In tender care, his journey begins
Tubes and needles, are permanent pins
Through bottled air his lungs depend
Limbs so frail as organs descend
Every breath, a stifled prayer
Bound for God, for a child laid bare
Often falling to lights divine
Yearning for peace and pain's decline
Silence broke this little boy's fight
Hungry cries, a mother's delight
Embracing hope this life survives
All tears ebb, from grieving eyes
Reaching arms hold life's joy
That of life, for a little boy

Author Notes
Thank you, Jan, for leading this club
Recently I was in the hospital, (nothing serious) a heart bypass (my fault as I drink and smoke) this family I met while in recovery, this is their story/experience in my words, the little fella's name is "Tyson" and they were able to take him, home-God Bless, I am still here, will get back to writing and reviewing soon
