He said you'd be a boy, and I thought blue
I knew my love would be tried and true
I wondered if yours would be too
My joy, nothing in the world could subdue
I brought you into this world and felt blue
Every doubt and insecurity shone through
Caring for you, I had no clue
For a tiny moment, having you, I did rue
Your hands and feet were turning blue
When I took you to the hospital, they knew
Not long for this world and nothing they could do
To you, they said I should bid adieu
A second chance we got as the sky beamed blue
Cut, stitch and sew the doctors did do
Your care and treatment long overdue
And now a fresh start for me and you
To start over life anew.
