A New Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Walking into the area where you were sleeping, I could
feel God's presence with you.
Even with all the wires and tubes connected to your
tiny body, there's a knowing deep inside my soul that
you are a blessing to our family and will grow up to
be with us for however long God wants you to.
When you held onto my finger yesterday, little nephew,
I could feel your strength and determination and am
with you one hundred percent.
Right this minute you're still in surgery to fix your
heart, turning one chamber into two.
Praying for you and asking everyone around me to pray
for you too.
All the doctors and nurses don't know it yet, but you
will be one of their little miracles today.
They'll be amazed at how deftly and simply your surgery
went.
We know though, that God has His hand in that, guiding
the doctor's mind, heart and hands to make you better
as he heals you through Him.
You are close to my heart and mind as my soul reaches
out to you in prayer.
I love you, and can hardly wait to see you again after
your surgery.
We'll see each other soon, my Grandnephew, soon.
