For My Child

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2011 with permission of the Author.

For my child:
The fact I was eighteen was not the reason
Your father and I went through our seasons
He came to the conclusion a little to soon
that he did not want to see what we went through
The torment inside I feel every day is almost to much to bear
knowing I'll never be able to caress your hair
I'll never be able to hold you
never hear you say my name
All in all no one feels my shame
I felt you move inside me
even though everyone said it was too soon
my little baby was to me like the moon
A ray of light to guide my way
I wanted the world for you to stay
I let people talk me into something I didn't want to do
He was not there to see what I went through
I almost walked out and I should have
My own selfish reasons propelled me to stay
As I had my child ripped away
I cry for you every day
but somehow I make it through
knowing one day I will meet you
And wishing it never would have came to this
Just know in my heart you are missed

Love,
Mommy
