Abortion Poem

Next Poem >>

I wrote this poem after I became a Christian and felt that I had to deal with an abortion that I had as a teenager.

My Sweet, Wonderful Child

©  Debbie Leads
My sweet, wonderful child

What color were your hair and eyes?
How soft was your face?
I think that you’re the best there is
I’m sure you think I’m a disgrace.

Would you have loved like your grandma?
Caring, Selfless, not like me?
Would you have been a happy child?
Would science have been your hobby?

I don’t have words to tell you how sorry I am
And how I wish I could change what I did
At the time I didn’t know the ramifications
At the time I was just a kid.

I have never felt so sorry and helpless
Regret is all I feel
I can’t put you back together
And allow you to heal.

What were you doing in me
When your last heartbeat came?
You were 100% dependent on me
And I put out your flame.

If I could trade places with you
I would do it in a second
But at this point you might be lucky one
Because with God you are present.

I will never be able to think of you
Without sorrow in my heart
But deep down inside
We have never been apart.

Jesus Christ has shown me
That even though what I did wasn’t right
I can still receive forgiveness
And end my innermost fight

I don’t know if you will ever forgive me
All I can do is wait and see
For the moment that my Earthly life ends
And you will finally see me

Are you going to approach me with gladness?
Or will hate be in your heart?
I would not blame you
If you had no forgiveness to impart

I hope that since God has forgiven me
You can do it, too
Forgiving myself as been tough, as well
The toughest thing I ever did do.

I look forward to the day
When Jesus and my family will be together
We will laugh and sing and jump for joy
Because we will all be in heaven

I don't understand how a mother would kill her child... you know instead of killing someone... you could save many lives by letting other adults adopt your children because maybe they can't have kids that is better than wasting a life and you will love that child and you will think of where it is and if it is safe... but you did the best thing you could

This poem is pretty much exactly how I feel. I had an abortion 6 years ago and I was not a Christian. I am still struggling with the forgiving myself part but I know that God has. I wish I could take what I did back but I can't. I wish I would have let myself love that child or give someone who wanted that baby a chance to be a parent but I can't take back what I did. I have had to learn to live with it and get through it just like you and my only comfort has been through Jesus. I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for him. I tried to take my own life twice because of the abortion but I found forgiveness and now I get the awesome privilege of being a mother to twins now. I will look forward and dread the day I will be reunited with my baby because I am so ashamed of what I did I am scared to face the baby but I want to meet my angel so bad. I know how you feel just keep relying on Jesus he will get you through.

I have not had an abortion and do not presume to understand what you're going through. I am a Christian and cast no stones but rather words of love and encouragement. We ALL make mistakes daily and thank GOD that He forgives us when we ask. I know that God and His angels are holding your baby and taking care of him/her while waiting for you. Lean on God and He will see you through. Ephes. 4:32 (KJV)

My name is Manda and I'm 17 years old. Almost three weeks ago when I was 11 weeks pregnant I decided to have an abortion. I was told that my baby had a very high risk of having extreme birth defects that would effect its heart, lungs, and brain due to the medications that I was on. I wanted so badly, more than anything in this world, for my perfect little baby to be healthy and have a good chance at life but it didn't seem possible. I couldn't risk bring my baby into this world for it to suffer like it would have. I can relate to you and your poem so much. Every day I think about what my baby would have been like and how amazing it would have felt to hold and kiss and protect my baby. When I was pregnant I wasn't alone. I had my beautiful angel with me but now when I lay down at night I am alone and feel empty. You have incredible strength and hope someday I can some how forgive myself for what I've done.
