Do Not Abandon Me

"LOVE, just four letters for a very powerful word." By Poet
Why does life start out from a loving mother, only to be given to another? This loving mother cannot care for her, as a tiny baby makes a stir. A loving mother will sign papers that will cut like a knife, making a decision effecting her and a new life. This is all out of her control, a mother with fear in her body and soul. As her body now shakes, she must sign the papers even if her heart breaks. Her loving tiny girl lays in a pretty pink blanket all wrapped, a mother can not abandon her or have her kidnapped. Will the true story ever be known, about a mother filled with love but on her own. A baby that came from heaven above, and about a price one put on selfless love.

I can't imagine how hard giving up a child must be for most mothers who are not prepared to rear that child. Doing the right thing for the child's well-fair has to be so hard. The love it takes to do the right thing for the child grips the soul. Thanks for sharing this winner with us. Congratulations on the winner. Way to go. Sara K

Love brought her to light, and sometimes it is the love that signs the papers to allow her to have the hope of a better life. So very sad, but so very loving despite her breaking heart. Beautifully written Paula <3

Maybe not true, but you did such a good job of describing it. And it happens way too often. It's hard to imagine the pain.

It's a heart breaking decision to hand over her baby to another through legal formalities. She signs the documents broken hearted, but she has to do it out of sheer necessity. I know one such mother and she still grieves. A heart touching poem, dear Paula.

That gift will be given a loving and safe home. Often these parents can’t have kids of their own…yet they become theirs. Not easy for the mother, the child or the new parents. The kid might spend more time wondering who their mother is and the parents fearful because the child in the end might leave them Still, life is filled with these struggles and at least for now they have warmth, love, security.
