Ode to my twins

January 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments

My babies are stuck in the NICU
It just makes my heart so sad
Maybe when they get out
My soul won’t hurt so bad

It started when the water broke
Then there was a twelve day wait
The days were long and the nights were dark
While we awaited their final fate

Loen came out quiet
Then Derby with a yell
Doctors were shouting orders
Doing their best to make them well

The first days were really hard
The upward climb was slow
Everyone warned us of the ride
And told us to be ready to go

Fourteen days later
The first downhill run
A surgery was required
That night was not much fun

The following weeks were up and down
In and out of the hospital we went
Visiting our children every night
While hoping they would get off the vent

The months drag on
Soon it is three
The babies are doing great
The future beginning to look free

    There once were some twins from Santa Barb’ray
    Who tried to do things the hard way
    Their parents hung in
    Those babies begin
    To look more like big kiddos each and ev’ry day.
