My Angel Poem by David Beckham

I am waiting on the wonders of medicine to keep me alive
And make me whole again.
I want to be in your life, you are my ultimate pride
And a gift to generations yet unknown

Nine months ago, I conceived you
While you grew, I would converse with you
If I was funny, you turned around in my womb
Whenever I said something naughty, you kicked and pushed

We connect like that
I know you are going to be a special child
Nine months seemed like nine days
And I couldn't wait for you to get here

Then tragedy struck
Some drunk, crossed the median and crashed into us
Much I don't remember after that
But here we both ended in the hospital

And thus my fate
I've lost my speech and can't talk
I've lost my limbs and can't walk
But I have my hands and I can write

The Doctors say you look just like me
Today I seen you for the very first time
You are everything I hoped you would be
Brown eyes, beautiful smile, thick brow

My words are my gift to you
Since I can't cloth you
Let my words wrap around you like a cape
To comfort and give you hope

Every time they operate on me, A RAY OF HOPE
My days are numbered, my hands are going too
If we can't be together, do these for me...
'Go into the world and do great things'


Your loving mother
