Just Breathe, My Little Boy

The hospital room is cold and white.
A mother holds her child all night.
She kisses his hand and whispers low, "My precious boy, please don't let go."
She watches every breath he takes.
Her weary heart just aches and aches.
If I could take your pain away,
I'd carry it until my dying day.
Just breathe, my son, just breathe for me.
You're everything I'll ever need.
Take all the strength that's left in me.
