The Failed Abortion

The mistake
The quick fix
The failed attempt
The unwanted one

The sunshine 
The adored one
The saving grace
The thread that hold them together 

The never told truth
The hidden agenda
The naked shame
The surviving gift

Both sides of the picture. Luckily a mistake that did not lead to a completely worse one! Whatever the reasons, the 'surviving gift' had every right to live. The mother will be grateful that the correct choice was eventually made. // paul

Yes she will. Better to have life than to take it away(in the case of abortion) . Thank u paul for the visit and the support
