A mothers view (Abortion)

Though i've never seen your face, I dream of what it could have been,
Though i've never heard you cry, I've always thought about it since then.
You've never left my heart, and you've never left my mind,
though it's been two years now, in my soul- you are confined.
Mommy couldn't keep you, though I wanted to,
But it just wasn't what was for the best, i'm sorry but it's what I had to do.
Soon your memory will be on my skin, just as it remains in my heart,
though you're up in heaven, we're never far apart.
I loved him, but I realized I love you more,
because as the years grow, his memory fades, yours just becomes more adored.
Just the thought of something so beautiful, once embedded in my body,
is enough to bring the strongest flow of tears, yet the biggest smile you'll get from me.
I pay the price every day, the judgements and the hurtful words,
What they don't realize is that's exactly why I sent you to another world.
Both would have had the same outcome, only now I realize you'd at least have been here with me to face it all,
But I couldn't do that to you, I couldn't let you face my fall.
I know we'll meet again, and i'll see that face for the first time,
Until then I'll keep on envisioning it in my mind.
The last love of mine, boy he used you against me in ways you can't believe,
but it's only made me stronger, because I know you understand- I know you'll never leave.
Although you're apart of my past, you've changed my future for the best,
I want to help the babies, the weak ones who have a smaller chance than the rest.
Every baby face reminds me of you, it's a bitter sweet memory,
But I love you though we've never met, you're my darkest glory.
Though i've never seen your face, I dream of what it could have been,
Though i've never heard you cry, I've always thought about it since then.
I'll see you some day , until then God will do what I couldn't do,
Though i've never met you, I still deeply love you.�©
