In my arms, a fragile form does lie
Racing against time, with a mother\'s sigh
The world outside moves fast, but in here, it\'s slow
A delicate balance, where every step I know
I walk on eggshells, with every breath I take
Monitoring each heartbeat, for a life at stake
The uncertainty loom, like a shadow on the wall
But in the moments between, our bond stand tall
In the ICU\'s sterile glow, I sit and wait
Machines beeping softly, a fragile heartbeat
The world outside fades, as I hold on tight
Praying for stability, in the dark night
In the ICU\'s quiet hours, I\'m lost in fear
A loneliness that grips, no one else draws near
They can\'t know my pain, unless they\'ve walked my floor
And held their child\'s hand, in the darkness I\'ve endured
Sometimes I step outside, and scream in the night
In silence, I scream, to let the pain subside
A moment release, from the weight I\'ve tried to hide
When health allows, my child\'s spirit takes flight
Unbridled joy, in the warmth of day\'s light
But in the darkness, fear\'s chill begin to creep
And I\'m left with the weight, of a love that must keep
In this dance of unknowns, I hold on tight
To the laughter, the tears, and the quiet nights
For in the end, it\'s not the answers that I\'ve found
But the love we share, that makes this journey profound
