"The day you were born was a sad day; Too Little, Too soon. On The day you were born I did not smile, On The day you were born, My world came crashing down, I mourned for the babies, I'd failed from the womb, On The day You were born, Mommy couldn't Cope I desperately needed, To see signs of hope For you were just 1Kg and I wasn't sure that Good things could come from Blessings Premature.

On the day You were born, I could not hold you, On the day you were Born I was heartbroken, I went home alone, Motherhood in suspense, Intense Sorrow, But You needed and Deserved a Proud Mother, You were Really Little, My beautiful Boy But I was proud of you, For every milestone you met and Every gram You gained, I was proud for Everyday You fought! You were a Miracle, waiting for me, You gave me faith, You gave me hope.

On a beautiful day you were born, I received a gift from God, You have shown me that A hero isn’t always big and strong. A Hero is simply one who has the strength and courage to overcome overwhelming circumstances. I remain a proud mummy, We are in this journey together to Grow! My baby, My Njiru , You have given me so many life lessons My Child , My Survivor , On the day You were Born ,My Life gained Purpose !"
