Fragile Heart

Scared of losing a son to a heart defect

Her heart shatters, a quiet scream,
As life bends fragile at the seam.
Tiny chest rising, falling slow,
A battle fought she cannot show.

Tears fall silent, fears untold,
Her brave boy fights, fierce and bold.
Each heartbeat a dagger, sharp and true,
Yet hope whispers, “He’ll make it through.”

She holds him close, though worlds apart,
Her soul entwined with his fragile heart.
Love fierce enough to break and mend,
A mother’s heart will never bend.
