To Mommy

TO:Mommy


You will never see my eyes
You will never dry the tears I would have cried

I wondered did you care?
I wanted to know the color of my hair

Am I on your mind?
A passing thought or a waste of time?

I wanted lots of toys
Oh mommy I would have like to brought you joy

You made a conscience decision, that moment of romance
You made a conscience decision, I didn't ge a chance

I can't be replaced for what you did, but yet in still, you let my siblings live

No bedtime stories
No lullabies
No cookies for me
Just reasons why

We could have made it
We would have survived
Oh what wouldn't I give to be ALIVE!

You just didn't know
How blessed you'd be
If you would have chosen life for me

Choose LIFE!
