An Unborn Baby's Wish

Oh how I wish they would keep me, together how happy we could be. I know I wasn’t expected, when they went unprotected. They were young and couldn’t wait, so getting pregnant was their fate. I often hear mommy and daddy fight, but they think they know what is right. Oh how I hate to hear her cry, because I don’t want to die. I’m not wanted at all I know, however I continue to grow. I can see my hands and toes, feel my little stubby nose. Oh please just give me a chance, your life I know I could enhance. I won’t be a nuisance or get in the way, let me live is what I pray. Many opinions people gladly did voice, yet it is up to you mommy to make a choice. I’ll love you mommy no matter what you do, hopefully soon I’ll get to see you. I would have been proud to be your son, however my life was over before it ever begun.
