Can You Hear
Can you hear that?
Can you see that?
It’s me mommy…
Aren’t you proud?
Aren’t you ready?
I am here
I am real
I can’t wait to meet you
I can’t wait to meet my daddy
I can’t wait to be held in your arms
Wait…
What’s that?
You don’t want me?
But…I didn’t even do anything
I never got to see you
I never got to see daddy
I never got to feel you hold me
Mommy…
Please don’t do this
Please change your mind
Please give me a chance
I promise I will make you happy
I promise I will make you proud
Just give me a chance
I hear this isn’t the first time
I wonder why you keep doing this
Mommy…
Please stop this…
Abortions are wrong
Give babies a chance at life
Give them to a family who cares
Give them to a woman who can’t bear
Give them life and receive one yourself
