Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

 

           Several years after my mother died, I got to know the truth

- Dear Mom -

I was an unwanted child
Declared undesirable by conception
Abortion was prohibited by law
A little child, a little body
Two small ears like clam shells
Sky blue eyes
A beautiful little girl, so kind and good
Why didn't you love me?

Ronald A. Williams November 21, 2017 at 7:44 AM Amen, that is the inevitable question. Make sure to read my Poem on this point also Yet Unborn Born. Anne-Lise Andresen November 21, 2017 at 7:55 AM - Many thanks for your visit and comment, Ronald :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Debbie Duncan November 20, 2017 at 3:09 PM I like this. And you placed with it too. You know I told my sister when I was 11-12 that I was never getting married or having kids. I think it has more to do with oneself. Not the baby. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Norway? I know most holidays are American. hugs :) Anne-Lise Andresen November 21, 2017 at 2:40 AM - No, we do not celebrate Thanksgiving in Norway :) - Many thanks for your visit and comment, Debbie :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
