had trouble breathing air

Then they said a virus spread to your brain said some scary

words gave it a long name
       A                            E
Locked in a box and kept for days, 88 tubes covering your face

A                    D               E
Now looking at your eyes so bright our first son and our 3rd child

Days passed a week went by and no good news no end in sight

We spent Shabbos by your bed
        A                           D
Then finally your fever broke, we saw some hope
                             E
when the wires came off your head
