Poem for Erica and Paul

I found the following poem for Erica and Paul...their little man will be having his Norwood tomorrow.  It is written by Stephanie Husted (Braedens Heart Journey).  She writes the most beautiful poetry that really shows how 'heart parents' feel.

Tomorrow... she'll walk down that hallway....
While holding her son's tiny hand...
Tommorow... he will leave her arms...
For surgery as planned.

Tomorrow... she will kiss his cheek...
Say mommy loves you...then...
I know she will be thinking...
Will I hold him just like this again?

I know these feelings all too well...
I've walked this road before...
It's true...no one can tell you...
Exactly what's in store.

That crystal ball we joked about...
Is not around to say....
You need not have a worry...
Things will go well today.

Tomorrow...she will watch him go...
(She does not have a choice)
She'll lose her concentration...
Her thoughts...her words.. her voice.

And to the waiting room...she'll go...
With a mother's heart of fear..
While other's say what can I do?
She'll say...I'm just glad that your here.

She'll try to stay focused...
She'll try to stay strong...
But I know she will wonder...
What's taking so long???

Nauseous, scared and so unsure...
Of what this day may bring...
Praying,hoping,waiting...
Not sure of anything.

Tomorrow...seems to have a way...
Of coming as it should...
You cannot hold on to "today"..
(As many wish they could).

Tomorrow...she will let him go...
And then she'll likely pray...
Lord...please hold him in your arms...
And let him be...okay.
