One Question To My Mum

In heaven I'm an angel waiting,
Here on earth I begin to move,
But wait ! 
My trip has already ended.

I've no voice to claim my stay,
If only I could have my way,
Certain answer would be nay
Seems my life is in your claws,
And all I wished was to be yours.

For Dad, no harsh feelings, 
For Mum, no angry thoughts,
Although it deeply hurts, 
My life you stole.
I do not understand 
Why you threw me to the sand.

No matter, 
I have all the time to wait
And wait until we meet,
In heaven, not on earth,
And while I kiss your cheek
And whisper, 
I love you.
I will save you,
And ask thou tearfully, 
Why you cast me out.

Ryan, I assume this poem is about abortion. Very touching and very sad! I love the aspect of forgiveness expressed toward the end. Well-written!

Your right it is. one of my favourites very touching, actually inspired by another poem. other poems are a good source of inspiration I find.
