SHE WAS BORN AT ONLY 26 WEEKS
THE SIGHT OF HER WAS SO HARD TO SEEK
SHE WAS SO SMALL
SHE WOULD TAKE A STEP FORWARD AND THEN A GREAT FALL.

SHE COULD NOT BREATHE ON HER OWN
SHE HAD TO HAVE HELP FOR SO LONG
SHE WAS EVEN TOO SMALL FOR CLOTHES
WE WATCHED AS HER IV'S WOULD FLOW.

AT 2 1/2 WEEKS OLD
I FINALLY HAD HER IN MY ARMS TO HOLD
THAT WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL MOMENT FOR ME
I WISH THE WHOLE WORLD COULD HAVE SEEN.

SHE LAY IN AN INCUBATOR FOR A LONG TIME
HER LITTLE HAND WAS NOT EVEN AS BIG AS A DIME
SHE LOOKED SO SAD
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO AND THAT MADE ME MAD.

THE DAYS GREW LONGER
THEY TURNED INTO WEEKS
AND THEN INTO MONTHS
IT ALL SEEMED SO WRONG.

WHERE DID I GO WRONG
WHAT DID I DO
THESE THINGS WILL GO THROUGH MY MIND FOR SO LONG
IS IT MY FAULT FOR ALL MY BABY'S GONE THROUGH?

AT 2 MONTHS OLD
THE DOCTORS CAME AND WE WERE TOLD
SHE WAS GOING BLIND
I THOUGHT I WAS READY TO LOOSE MY MIND.

SHE HAD SURGERY
THE NEXT DAY FOR HER AGAIN TO SEE
THANK GOD SHE MADE IT THROUGH
AS GOOD AS NEW.

AT 2 1/2 MONTHS
WE BROUGHT HER HOME TO HOLD
FINALLY AT LAST
MAYBE SHE'LL FORGET ABOUT THE PAST.

A WEEK LATER SHE WENT BACK IN
ONCE AGAIN THE SURGERY SHE WOULD WIN
THEY REMOVED A HERNIA
HOPING THINGS WOULD BE BETTER FOR HER.

AS THE MONTHS GREW LONG
THE ONLY THING THAT WAS NOW WRONG
ASTHMA, SOMETHING SHE MAY OUTGROW
SHE NOW TURNED 1 YEAR OLD.

WELL THE BAD LUCK
HAS AGAIN STRUCK
GOING DOWN THE ROAD
A TRAGEDY HAPPENED THAT WILL NEVER UNFOLD.

SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AGAIN
I THINK I'M GOING INSANE
SHE NOW HAS EPILEPSY
SOMETHING THAT WILL STAY WITH HER THROUGHOUT LIFE, YOU SEE.

SHE HAS TO TAKE MEDICINE EVERYDAY
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY
GOD I JUST WANT TO PRAY
FOR YOU TO LEAVE MY BABY ON EARTH TO STAY!

THANK YOU GOD,
CHASITY MILLER
