July 2011 You didn't have a chance to see daylight. You never got to smile into your mothers eyes. Your little hands would never be held. Your confidence would never radiate out of its shell. Your daddy was young and your mommy was afraid. You didn't even know about the approaching days. You wiggled inside as you made your home. You grew in a belly that soon would be your tomb.
Dear Baby, I am sorry for my choices, I was happy with you there. I thought I could change things, but I wasn't aware. My outside was tough but that wasn't enough. How would it be to kiss your soft head, smell your sweet scent as you lay in the bed. Lord please forgive me for the choices I've made. Hold my baby with you as we part ways. How could I ever think so wicked? Timing wasn't perfect, but ****, when is it? To love and to hold, I feel my scars now Never did I think of times like now. As I sit alone and the emptiness overcomes me, How will I feel if there is another baby inside me? My sweet child I was never to meet. I grieve for you everyday, so silently. I am so sorry for any pain I caused to your little body I love you so much Signed forever your mommy.
