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!
