Expecting

The days are counting down, quickly approaching.
These aren't feeling I had considered disclosing.
I'm terrified of countless scenarios.
You see, this life doesn't have heroes.

Your tiny little life depends on me.
I feel like I've already failed miserably.
In a short nine months we've had many complications.
A list of things that are wrong with no explanations.

From day one I've been horrified about losing you.
Now they have to deliver three weeks before you're due.
What if something horrible happens?
Something I don't want to imagine.

I want you here safe and sound.
Is being stress free even allowed.
You and your brothers are my entire life.
Not worrying is something I've tried and tried.

Please stay with us, our first daughter.
I want this bond to go even further.
We're all waiting patiently for you to be here.
Hold on and fight. We'll protect you, have no fear.
