The Life I Would Have Lived

The Life I Would Have Lived Oh, mommy, mommy, God said on the day that I was born, He had picked me out just for you, and as I got a little bit older I was to help you with what you were called in life to do. Oh, yes, as just a baby I would have fussed and giggled sometimes at feeding times on your lap, and I might have chosen to play a while when I was to sleep though you had laid me down for my nap. My first birthday you would have been so happy as you held me close up on your knees, and the family to, would have laughed and laughed out loud when they heard me ask you, “Mommy, more cake, mommy please”! Then when it came to learn to ride my bike why you’d be running right along at my side, making sure I wouldn’t get hurt or fall all because of your love and motherly pride. The day I was to start attending my little school you would have just broken down and cried, because our home now would be so much more lonely since I would not be so close to your side. As I got into “Junior High and High School” my grades, why they would be at the top of my class, then I found out I was meant to have been a research Doctor because the Lord told me when Him, I asked. I would have married the man of my dreams and I was to have bore you three wonderful loving grandsons, who would have laughed and adored you with so much love that if you weighed it, it would have been a ton. All this mommy would have been my life but you chose that I would never on this earth be, instead you let them take me from your womb and I was stamped rejected so my God brought me back to Him for all eternity.

Good one, and a sobering thought to all the lives we have killed because of a "choice".
