Mommy I Love You

Mommy I love you! Mommy I really do! I came to be on this earth to spend time with you. Mommy, I can hear your voice and oh it's so sweet! I move around in your womb to the sound of your heartbeat. I can't wait to be born so I can see your beautiful face. I want to grow up and get to know this place. One day when I get big, I can be a doctor, policeman or firefight. I have a future that is going to be so bright. Mommy, you have seemed a little sad and I don't know why. I really miss your happy voice and wish you would not sigh. Today we go to the doctors (that's what I want to be!!) I think he is going to see how big I am and what he is going to see. Today seems a little off and I start to feel some pain. Today you took away my life because you couldn't handle your own pain. Today the doctor forced me out of my nice,warm and safe home. Today I went back to heaven but not before they put pieces of my body in a container dome. Today I learned about abortion and what it does to babies like me. I would have liked to be born so that I could be free. I am not a clump of cells and my body parts are not to be sold. I wanted to grow up until I got old. I am a human being that has every right to be here on this earth. Mommy, why didn't you give me a chance at birth? I deserve that chance too! But what did you do? Mommy, I am a miracle sent to earth from my Father In Heaven. He loves me and all of his children.

I didn't want to cut the rope I wanted you instead But daddy touched a little girl Placed a gun upon her head Her innocence was gone At 12 years strong I would rather kill myself than kill you instead Mommy has no money Mommy has no home And mommy doesn't want you here when you would be alone I know I crossed the line Just know by taking your life I was really taking mine I'm crying on the staircase for the life we could have had I wanted a life so bad with you I wish you had a better dad

A sharp write, Leslie, and a poignant reminder of the sanctity of life, and that we are all the result of someone not taking that drastic step. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I hope you enjoy your stay with us. Viv

What a touching way to destroy the myth of abortion rights. This is simply beautiful, and should be sent to the organizations that fight this kind of abuse to remind them of how important their cause is. Big 7 and continue the fight, Leslie.
