Winding little knots...

I watch you asleep in your hospital bed

All these anxious thoughts running loose in my head

Why have you had such a hard little start?

With each challenge we've faced another knot round my heart.

When I carried you, all those precautions in place,

As they warned me of all the potential complications we'd face

As you tumbled and turned inside of me

Oblivious to the fact that you should not be free

Each concern they'd raise, each worry they'd impart

Just bound you with another little knot around my heart.

And then you came, and ten weeks on

I find myself back here, though it feels so wrong.

Your downy head soft, your breathing catches

Wires all around you, I sleep only in snatches.

And yet in the heartache, I know for sure

That you're in the hands of the One who can cure

The One who loves you more, even, than me

Who died on that cross so that we could be free.

So now as I watch you, I pray that you'll know

The healer who washes you whiter than snow,

Who deals with an illness much deeper within

Than infections and diseases; He'll heal us from sin

And so I entrust you to him in this dark

As you wind your little knots

That bind you to my heart.

I love you, our little Heidi,

Get well soon.
