I Got you

July 2024 , a night like many I’d had before , 
but this night was different because my heart met the floor .

My son had been injured , crashed a car into a tree ,
My biggest fear had happened , 
through tear filled eyes I did see .

I rush straight to the hospital to find my baby boy ,
unconscious on that table ,
My son , my heart , my joy .

My head it fills with questions of how he brought his fate to here ,
but no answers I find are registering,
just go in and out my ears.

I want to run and scoop him up and never let him go ,
but have to wait outside that room 
watching doctors go to and fro .

Finally the door emerges and a young doctor looks my way ,
My heart beats fast , my head gets light as I wait for him to say ,
He has a fractured skull and must be flown away that night ,
So of course I start preparing to join him in this fight .

Early morning we’re in Wellington Regional ICU ,
Here we’ll stay until the day my soldier pulls on through.

That day did come eventually and I thank the lord above,
that my son had opened up his eyes to be surrounded by our love .

The road is not apparent as he slowly heals each day ,
things are a little different and who knows if they will stay .

I love you so much my Sonshine ,
I’ll be there right by your side ,
through all the ups and down we’ll face ,
My HEART , My JOY , My PRIDE !
