Pers Miami — 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.
Just open up your eyes and see.
Just breathe, my love, don't slip away.
I'm begging you to live another day.
Oh darling, hear your mother cry.
Please hold my hand.
Please stay alive. The doctor slowly turned his eyes.
She saw the sorrow he tried to hide. "Is there still hope?" she softly cried,
as tears fell down the child's side.
She raised her hands and prayed above, "Dear God, please save the one I love.
Give me his suffering, give me his pain.
Just let my little boy live again."
Then suddenly,
a whisper came, "Mommy, I'm here." He called her name.
She held him close against her chest
and cried with joy, her soul at rest.
Just breathe, my son, just breathe for me.
You're everything I'll ever need.
Take all the strength that's left in me,
and let tomorrow's morning be.
Just live, my love, my precious boy.
Come back to life, come back to joy.
As long as your little heart beats on,
your mother's prayers will carry on.
Just breathe, my son,
my precious one.
Please stay with me, my beloved son.
