A Cry For Conception

In her safe womb she carries me from place to place; I hear her love-filled words I hear her fast heartbeat and feel her caring hands warmer than the spring's breeze... sheltering me from the cold! Anytime someone punches her belly, I turn aside to avoid injury... whose hands are doing much harm? I cry for conception, yearning to be born into the bright world; mom, protect me from all danger, from those violent hands that try to kill me without regard for this unborn life! Before you go to sleep, sing me a short lullaby as if praying, " Sleep well, sweet baby....mom loves you as angels do! " When I'm big enough, I would love to hear a fairy tale, but 'till then imagine me falling asleep, dreaming of the day when you'll hear my first scream...I'll finally break free from this dark and confined realm! "
