Sweet Fragile Strength
I see the delicate fragility of your life.
Standing by your bed in the night
Your hands clenched as you struggle,
What is hidden from my sight
Every breath weak but deliberate,
More life in every gasp of air
Each one a bit stronger than the last,
Each carrying hope against despair
Scarcely one obstacle is passed,
And the next barrier appears
An issue of the blood,
Yells its thunderous fears
While worry rises,
In helplessness not concealing
Beneath it all,
Courage never stops healing
With only one gift,
Into this world you came
That one gift,
A bright and shining flame
The flame carries you,
It becomes just enough
It doesn't flicker or falter,
It never yields to life's bluff
No expertise,
No wealth to claim
Just life, a family's love,
And a family's name
Every day, you climb,
Every day, you rise
Every day you amaze,
With your sweet fragile strength
Welcome to the world, Cloe Danielle
Meet the hearts, That love you
