Deep Sorrow
Now I stand all alone
full of guilt and shame,
A DIRECT EFFECT OF MY POEM "ANSWER TO GOD"
my tears stream down
blurring my vision,
only pity for myself
I see.
It is the pain that makes me weak
as I stand here all alone,
and the fact that I have no
family or friends to
who''s opinion I can seek.
But in the future awaits a day
for all the facts will
be displayed.
And sitting through them one by one,
you''ll see that my intentions were
not to give you up.
For the love of a child
is a love like no other,
And I''m so very proud of you
but as your mother I
failed my duty, and for that I stand
here shamefully guilty.
I am blessed to have you for
my daughter,and my punishment
for making this one mistake
is that I will bore no others
