Delores Allen Poet Free verse

Abortion

child unborn (abortion)

Understand, my child,
this is what I give you.
No womb protection,
my body guarding yours
cannot stop your seeing,
feeling, the degenerate
society I live in.
No father's love or
masculine guard
can protect you.

Understand what I do,
as I give you to Him
unborn, free of all sin,
untouched by human err,
I give you a new birthright
free of man.

Understand my child,
the sin I committed
to free you, makes me
know, not of fear, that
the life I gave shall
someday be born again.
