UNWANTED AND PLEADING

(A poem viewed by an unwanted baby in the belly of a mother)

Mommy, am I a mistake?

I didn't mean to ruin your life.

I didn't mean to cause you pain or cause you so much strife.

I feel there's indecision, or have you made up your mind?

You've already given me life, so please give me some time.

I hear lots of music, but it doesn't calm my soul

But the things that I do hear, makes me feel so cold. 

Jesus has a plan for me, or I wouldn't have been conceived.

Please let me be a full term baby, Please, Oh please don't be deceived.

I know you're unhappy with your life, But I didn't cause none of this

And if you decide to get rid of me

I promise, someday it's me you're going to miss.

Mommy, already my love for you is like a ring, it has no beginning and it has no end And if you'll decide to keep me Oh, we'll be the best of friends.

Mommy, when I hear your voice, It sounds so good to me

And I get excited, cause it's you I want to see.

So, this decision is up to you.  The ball is in your court,

So I pray each and everyday,

That your choice is not abort.
