I am proof

"I can survive anything as long as I have you"

I am proof that miracles happen

Living proof should be all you need

I fought my hardest and survived 

Did what my big sissy couldn't do

Mommy and daddy walked with me today

I walked with my friends who went through what I did

We all survived 

Oh so little when we were born 

Teeny tiny babies

Everyone thought we didn't stand a chance

A long fight later 

Here we are

Walking in the march of dimes

We walked for me 

My friends 

My big sister

Everyone who made it and didn't make it

We want to show the world we made it 

That we all matter

To never give up on us

We may be little 

But we fight the hardest

I am proof 

That miracles happen

Author's Note

I wrote this from my little brother sage's point of view he died when he was born but they resuscitated him he spent five months in the nicu and fought very hard for his life he was the size of a pen and weighted only 2 pounds 7 oz. God bless all the preemies!

This is a heart-touching piece of poetry. It seems a miracle when you turn our to be a survivor when others do not make it. I have never heard of many miracles. But your experience is surely one to add to my very short list. This is very emotional and powerful. Keep writing.

It is amazing how a small baby can survive.
"I am proof
That miracles happen"
I agree with the above lines. Children birth are miracles. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Sorry it took me a while to read this!
This is really well written; I can tell you took your time each line.
The part I like the most is the end when you restated what you said in the beginning. "Miracles happen"
Nice work!!!

Even tho this message has a specific backstory (thanks for author's note), your message could relate to many things life throws at us, that some of us survive & others don't. I like that you take the time to also honor the ones who didn't make it, even tho your message of inspiration is mainly aimed at the survivors. To me, the best writing is specific, not vague. That's why I love all the interesting details you include to paint the word picture of this story of survival.
