My baby boy Sam was born 16 weeks early so will be spending his first christmas in Special care. I have searched everywhere I can think of for a relevant poem. Nothing too religious.

I wish I could be able to provide you with some help, but I can't seem to find anything either. I enjoy writing so I thought I'd dedicate my own poem to you and your son. I am a mother myself of a 1 year old boy and my sister was a preemie, herself. So I can definitely relate to you. I hope you enjoy my poem. And may the new year bring many, many blessings to you and your little one....
You may not come home in time for Christmas, this I know.
But my weary heart still rejoices for you shall see a new and glorious morn.
By your cradle I shall stand
With dreams of my little boy becoming a man.
This hospital incubator is not what I see
Instead a manger hugging my baby so sweetly.
Early did you arrive on this green earth
Sixteen weeks early I gave birth
It was frightening yet so divine
To meet this heavenly baby of mine.
And so in my own way I shall praise
Joy to the world for all of our days
Because our troubles, little one, will soon be miles away
I promise to you in this hospital bed you shall not stay
You will come home for the holidays and rejoice
And how I will cry when first I hear your voice
Singing and laughing and smiling with such joy
And I shall celebrate this New Year with my little boy.
As I hold your tiny hands in mine
I can already see how your soul shines
On your very first Noel this year
I sing to you as I hold you near and dear:
“Jesus the Lord was that baby so small,
Laid down to sleep in a humble stall;
Then came the star and it stood overhead,
shedding its light 'round His little bed.
Dear baby Jesus, how tiny Thou art,
I'll make a place for Thee in my heart,
And when the stars in the heavens I see,
Ever and always I think of Thee.”
