Chimera

The sounds of a new-born baby crying for the first time, Can bring joy to a brand-new mother, Can bring a smile to her sweaty, tired face, Knowing that she has delivered a blessing from God. She is reminded of the moment she first looked down At the little device sitting on her bathroom counter With the two red lines shining through Letting her know the excitable future. But what if I told you Instead of feeling joy and happiness At the sight of the positive test She felt dread, sorrow, sadness, and despair. The soon to be mother would make a decision, One that would determine her future, The future of the baby growing inside her, And the man who had helped that child come to be. Without a good family to give her the advice she needed, The woman had lost all hope she was desperate. Her despair led to the relinquishing of another innocent soul, Being lifted to the heavens, for God to hold. For all the innocent, little lives lost to a monster that ravages hopeless women making them believe it is okay to end the unborn life of a human being. For all the would-be mothers Who had felt like there was no other way That they could not raise a child In this wretched world, by themselves. For all the would-have-been fathers Who never got to see the baby They would have helped raise Never getting to see their sweet face. I wish with all my heart That this world could see what has happened, I wish that we could see the death and suffering That is being normalized all around us in our modern society. The outright murder, The ending of the unborn human life, Should have never been normalized Should have never been given consideration. For all the angel babies That now sits with God in his vast lap With enough room to hold them all, I am so sorry. 4/7/2021 Mrs. Donna Moody Chimera
