Not my Choice


Dear mom, dad - keeper of my DNA, it was not my choice to be conceived ( these actions you are about to take, I never would have believed ) With you, I have placed my trust - only to be, deceitfully deceived I have no voice If indeed you must, take my life Before searching my face, with grace, before attempting to hold my hand, my tiny finger, created by the Creator that created you too ( You don’t wish to linger ) If indeed you must, take my life giving breath Before finding jewels in my eyes, while singing soft lullabies before watching me grow, into the adult you will learn to love and in time, get to know If indeed you must, take my life giving breath, take me from this earth Before having the chance, to meet you Know that: I loved you, before you loved me I will never know your love, My Worth I have no voice Sincerely, Your unborn child ___________________ Just a little Scribble ~ Thoughts from the Heart ~ Life is Precious
