 poems about life

I want to ask you why


This poem is written for my son Austin, who may not live older than 9 or 10, he is three now and has a brain degenerative disorder.   It hurts to know I may not have my precious baby forever, but I am very thankful for the time we have had and do have.  I pray every day for a miracle




I want to ask you why, but I know it's not your doing
I want to scream and cry, but what good will it do him
I don't normally like to beg, but I fall to my knees and pray
That you will let me hold him forever and a day

He seems to be getting stronger every day,
I know you are helping him build up strength
I have to stay strong, I cannot lose faith
For he needs my wisdom to help in every way

He may not talk as well as others
He may not walk as good as his brothers
But he is my miracle, my blessing, my gift from you
I will do anything to help him get through

My children are the very air I breathe
Without them I will be lost in uncertainty
That's why you must help me keep my baby boy
Help me help him, for he is my pride and joy

Dear God please help me keep my son
I pray to you, for you are the only one
Who can heal him, who can make him strong
Dear God please wait to take him home




For Austin
