Unwanted
Unwanted
You were never unwanted
From the moment the Creator
Touched you into life
There was someone who wanted—
To catch your first breath
To wipe your first tear
To kiss your first bruise
To always be near
From the very first moment
Someone who wanted—
To give the nameless a name
To sit on the floor
Playing a silly game
Someone who wanted-
To watch you dance across the floor
To cheer louder than all
When you achieved the winning score
From inside the womb
Where life begins
She didn’t believe
With selfish lies undaunted
You are more than a choice
More than unwanted
From the beginning
God had someone who wanted—
To be called mommy
Or dad
To laugh with your laughs
To cry with your cries
To watch you soar beyond the skies
Someone who wanted—
You
