Life Begins With a Choice

Life begins with a choice, 
Not yours, but theirs
You don’t even have a voice, 
To live or die is never your selection
My mother chose to give life 
Though the “sperm donor” chose abortion
I am here today because mom 
Believed that life was the only option
And this new life was a gift from
God - and needed her protection.
Thank you mother for this life
I love you more than words can say
I will always shine with your affection

The magic that exist in your life is personified in the closeness you feel with your mother, the giver and nurturer of life and this is skillfully incorporated into a unusual and unique poem honoring your mother. Emile. #7
