Heaven Knows the Little Sister You Never Knew

She tearfully told him, "I'm sorry, but I'm pregnant." " What do you want me to do?" " I don't know!" " What would your mother and father think?" "I can't tell them!"They were both teenagers in high school. Jean went to an abortion clinic and ended a precious life. She then lied to her boyfriend by telling him, she fell down the stairs and lost the baby. He was heartbroken. They slowly drifted apart. Their terrible loss had torn their hearts, and was responsible for their breakup. The years went by and Jean got married. She than gave birth to a little girl. She named Mary. Mary had beautiful blue eyes she was born healthy and was very beautiful. Jean bonded with Mary like loving mother's do. Jean and her husband cherished Mary. She love playing with her and dressing her up. Giving her baths, and Mary enjoyed playing with her favorite ducky. She sing lullaby's at night and put her to sleep. Mary had a little peach color blanket that she would rub with her little fingers, and go to sleep with. When Mary was four. She was yelling MOMMY! With a big smile with open arms to give mommy a hug, and a kiss. Jean felt an infinite love for her precious child. Mary and mommy became inseparable. One day as Jean was feeding Mary. Mary looked at Jean with her beautiful blue eyes and said, " I love you mommy." Instantly Jean realized what she had done, years ago as a teenager. She fell on the floor sobbing uncontrollably! Thoughts raced through her mind thinking she had killed an innocent child as precious as Mary." Oh what have I done!" Sobbing, "I'm so soooorrrrryyyy!" " I'm so soooorrrrryyy!" "Please foooorgive me!" She looked up at her baby and Mary told her mommy I love you mommy. She then got up from the floor and picked Mary up and held her till her arms were numb. Trying to restrain her tears, so Mary wouldn't see, mommy crying. She then tearfully said to Mary. " Heaven knows the little sister you never knew." Jean then held her baby again close to her bosom, releasing teardrops of her inner pain, and begged God for forgiveness. 9 /24/2015

this is a wonderful story, the way you had her feeling such remorse for what she did. I could never abort a baby though I know many women feel they need to. And we can only hope that both these mothers and fathers of the unborn will feel sorry for what they did and take better precautions in the future.

So sad that thousands of young women have made this mistake. I am so glad that I kept my son Shawn. I was unmarried when I got pregnant also. Fortunately God provided me with a wonderful husband and father for Shawn. I hope many young women will find this poem. Good job Michael
