Anniversary

It was a day that was set so deep back in her past For as of today it was such a dark contrast But soon after Roe vs Wade had eked into law This poor woman would experience her greatest fall So as each new year so intrepidly passes her by All those questions only grow louder as to why And just as tomorrow will soon be here None of these answers have ever become clear There is nothing she can change or anything she can do Except maybe telling her story to someone like you For tomorrow is going to be a very long day But it will be for young women like you that this woman will pray For even though thirty eight years have now since past Each year gets harder to take than the last If anyone ever offers you an anniversary like mine I pray to God that you will instinctively decline
