A Mother's Letter
You missed another rainbow today
That's twelve since the day you died
Every time I see one, I think of you
I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried
Another sunset ushered in the night
The end to a beautiful day
That's seven hundred and thirty since you've been gone
It's funny how time slips away
I wish you could feel the raindrops
As they softly caress your skin
Or the chill tucked inside a winter's breeze
As you wait for the snow to begin
I want you to know that I'm sorry
For the things that I did that day
I wish I could go back and change things
For it wouldn't have ended this way
Today would have been your birthday
And each day I pray, that maybe
You and God will someday forgive me
For the day I aborted my baby
