Watching, Waiting, Hoping, Praying <br />Another breath per minute taken <br />Watching, Waiting, Hoping, Praying <br />Will this one be her last? <br />I sit there in the darkness <br />In the quiet I listen intently <br />I know what they've done to her <br />but all I can do now is try to protect and guide her till dawn <br />It used to be me that cried out to her to ease my pain <br />Now it's she who calls out to me to keep her here <br />Watching, Waiting, Hoping, Praying <br />Another breath per minute taken <br />Slowly the dawn creeps in and the night fades away <br />She opens her eyes and I am the first one she sees <br />She smiles <br />Another day has been granted <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Author: Stephanie J.
