Worth It

Dear Baby Girl,

Soon

You won’t be a girl

Anymore,

And Jack won’t be a boy,

And what I always hope you know

What I need you to always know

Is that you were loved

And wanted

And worth every single last

Finger poke

Injection

Blood sugar drop

Like the one that woke me up

In a cold sweat

Just now.

I’d do it all over again

To have you,

My Piper Alison Blue

My Jack Pete Parker Blue.
