As I Love You Through The Glass

A fellow preemie mommy shared this poem today. I think its GREAT! Enjoy.

As I Love You Through The Glass

As I love you through the glass a tiny hand sweeps across the blanket reaching out to me.
You lie there in the stillness of your slumber clinging to life;
I reach inside to touch you and you stir slightly;
I feel a tiny breath like a feather caress my fingers as I love you through the glass.
One eye opens easily staring into mine;
Can you see me?
Can you feel my presence as I love you through the glass.
I ache to hold you;
I await the moment when you peacefully rest in my loving arms.
A silent tear rolls down my face;
I slowly turn to walk away only to glance back one more time as I love you through the glass.
