As i was wheeled to the operating room <br />His little voice still lingered in my ears <br />The anesthesia was successfully done <br />And before i went into a deep sleep <br />I can still see his face in the waiting room <br />Worried, with tears in his eyes <br />But showed his bravery for me <br /> <br />We were alone in my hospital bed <br />Waiting for the doctors to come <br />I was having a miscarriage <br />Nervous and fear painted my face <br /> <br />My little boy was holding my hands <br />Touching my head, stroking my hair <br />With his soft voice, he whispered <br />'Don't be afraid, I am here, <br />I will take care of you, Mama <br /> <br />This promise of a little boy <br />Kept me going throughout my ordeal <br />He did touch my heart <br />And i was moved to tears <br />Knowing that in his innocent ways <br />He showed his bravery that night <br />And promised me <br />That everything will be alright<br /><br />Meggie Gultiano<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-little-son-s-promise/
