Mammy

A baby's  voice
Mammy can you hear me, will you listen to my plea 
Mammy please don't do it,take the gift of life from me
If you go ahead and do this thing 
It will be to me your baby 
A baby you'll never ever hold or see 
I have the right to live in the outside world 
After the time I have spent in here 
You will never ever forgive yourself 
And it will only end in a tear 
So mammy have some courage and follow your heart 
Don't listen to those foolish ones
Do the right thing from the start 
So mammy please don't do it
 Even as a  last resort
Don't even contemplate the ending of my life 
By trying to abort 
Eros

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
