A Baby's Cry

Who are you to judge if I should live or die? You snuff out my feeble cry. You say at conception I'm not alive. You say your body is your own, mine will never be known. I will tell you who I am so you will know, if I would have been allowed to live and grow, you would have loved me also. The first flicker of life my soul was given to me, by God, not thee. You can cause the flesh to grow, God gave me the best you know, if I would have been allowed to grow. I would have been the best person you would know. My smile bright and eager to see, looking for you smiling back at me. My arms would have hugged you with so much love, the feeling would make you thank God above. I would have run as fast as I could, into your arms wherever you stood. I would have been a bundle of joy, a girl or a boy. Now you will never know me, you will never know the person I was to be, for you chose to end my life so selfishly.
