    ABORTION II:
    CHILD:
    Mommy, Mommy, here inside,
    Do you look on me with pride?
    Do you love me, hope to see
    The day when I first start to breathe?

    Mommy, Mommy, don’t you hope
    For when I’ll see the world full scope?
    Or do you think I’ll bane your life
    And fill it with all kinds of strife?

    Mommy, Mommy, I hear you say
    That life on earth won’t be okay.
    That you don’t have money to try
    To raise me up- so I must die.

    But Mommy! Mommy! Don’t you see?
    God takes care of you and me.
    Just ask Him and He’ll provide.
    Can’t I live? Won’t you try?

    Mommy, now I hear your voice.
    Will I really take away your choice?
    Is it to have life as you please?
    Does my existing cost you ease?

    Mommy, Mommy, what’s it like?
    To laugh, or talk, or ride a bike?
    What’s it like to see Mom’s eyes,
    Soft and caring and comforting cries?

    Mommy, Mommy, tell me true!
    Weren’t you once a baby, too?
    How is it to first see light?
    To see the world and gain your sight?

    Mommy, Mommy – so you know –
    In case you want to still say no,
    Well, in your center, in my core,
    I have a beating heart- like yours!

    Mommy, Mommy, tell me so-
    Do you still think that I should go?
    Or won’t you please protect my life?
    It’s all I have besides this plight.

    Mommy, Mommy, from your womb,
    Will this dark place be my tomb?
    I have purpose- God said so.
    So, won’t you please let me grow?

    Mommy, Mommy, hear my cry:
    Do I deserve infanticide?
    What have I done wrong, I ask,
    To send me up to Heaven so fast?

    Mommy, Mommy, hear my plea!
    Listen to my silent screams!
    Please don’t push me far away!
    But- there is Heaven, where I’ll stay.

    Mommy, I hope you will see
    I’m here because Christ died for me.
    If you want to see me again,
    I’ll be waiting in Heaven.

    And, Mommy, I want you to know
    That even though you let me go,
    I forgive you, though and through-
    You’re still my Mommy and I still love you.
