Regretful Choice
At the tender fetal age of six weeks old,
fingers, toes, & a heartbeat he had I've been told.
It continues to hurt so deeply & bad.
This is why I still regret & get so mad!
For a precious life I stupidly terminated,
had only I used common sense & avoided becoming impregnated.
I truly wish I could undo my wrong,
but only prayer & God help keep me strong.
For it's already been several years,
but that selfish act still brings me to tears.
Often I wonder how he would look & be...
perhaps a spitting image of me?
Obscurity, remorse, angst, & pain,
are few of many emotions that in my heart will sadly remain.
