Oh, gosh the last line hit me right in the gut. It's amazing how a small Haiku and other short forms can impart a LARGE effect. Oh my, this makes me want to look away which means your Haiku well served its purpose ... CayCay

From light to deeply dark. Your talent works in this nicely. This is definitely a stop and think poem. Nice one.

Agreed sometimes nature is cruel even when beauty exists.

Better stillborn than endure a life of ridicule . . .

So many lives are ruined caring for "defective" children, and so many children (and their mother) suffer from "not being normal". There is enough misery in this world without adding to it!
