Unshed tears

My colleague, who is a visiting neonatologist from Massachusetts and is here for the next 2 months teaching newborn resuscitation (i.e. helping babies who are having problems when they are first born) and care for premature babies wrote the following poem. I have no words to describe it.

Please read, think, and...

Unshed Tears

Silent and sad

Another petite life gone . . .

All efforts made

Once again – too late.

More will come

Sadly to succumb

To this grave fate.

Today

Almost insurmountable

But tomorrow will dawn

With hope and strength

Finding a way

To preserve young new lives

and offering

A healthy start

Prior to Conception

Must be the way . . .

To herald the promise of

a new day

Healthy new tiny lives

That will grow and prosper

Survive and

Thrive
