Give Life

I wish I could feel the joyous kick The occasional summer salt The swimming inside of me I wish I could look on that monitor See what they see Hear what they hear That tiny face Those hands and feet A heartbeat strong I will never have that I will never receive such a blessing I will never get to hold that baby There are so many mothers So many who don’t care So many who do… While those of us who long for just one time While others terminate one after another I cringe at the thought How could anyone end it How could anyone end life No matter what the circumstance That baby inside deserves life Give that baby a life Give us a chance Let us adopt Don’t take their life
