Abortion Poem

This poem is for any woman who lives with the regret of having an abortion.

You Were Inside Me

© Shirley Daley
You were inside me but only for a while
Only in my dreams do I embrace your smile.

In my thoughts I see you, my bleeding heart is torn
for my darling little baby who would never be born.

Though my arms ache to hold you, my grief so hard to bear.
The pain you must have felt that day, my pain cannot compare.

If I could live my life again, there would be one less regret.
The day I took my baby's life, the day I can't forget.

  • OMG. I'm sure your head was pretty messed up at that time, and I know you really, really feel regret. Don't worry, if you're truly sorry, God will forgive. I am, however, against abortion and I hope I always will be. May the baby rest in peace :) the baby knows you'll always love it!
