Abortion Poems
Poems about Abortion
Viewing abortion as a simple, convenient procedure is misguided. Mothers who have chosen to abort often face feelings of sorrow, shame, and guilt. The body will physically heal after an abortion given time, but the psychological scars left behind may never fade. Many women feel anger for having aborted a child they were told did not yet exist as a person. While the acute grief that often follows abortion may be difficult to cope with, expressing such feelings through writing or to an intimate friend can help. Although the decision to abort is irreversible, forgiveness and a measure of peace can be found.
24 Sad Poems on Grieving with Abortion Pain

1. The Gift Of Life
I received a gift from a stranger,
A stranger I did not know.
I had heard his name before,
But just in passing, so I let it go.
I did not think it was a gift,
But rather a terrible burden.
They said it was nothing I wanted.
Of this they were certain.
I was told it was something bad
And more than I could bear.
No one mentioned it was precious.
It was as if they didn't care.
I sent the gift back to the stranger,
Where it came from up above.
If only I had met him sooner,
I would have seen the gift was made with love.
Instead, I treated the gift like it was nothing.
I quickly sent it back.
They told me I did the right thing,
But they left out an important fact.
See, the gift was made just for me by a stranger,
And God was his name.
I had never even noticed him,
Yet he loved me just the same.
He had created that precious gift.
Each piece he made by hand to my surprise,
And yet I didn't even see it.
My life was based on lies.
When I found out what the gift contained
And realized I had thrown it away,
I believed I would always suffer
And be punished every day.
But to my disbelief, that stranger,
Who I had ignored and turned away,
Created three more gifts for me
And sent them all my way.
I begged for his forgiveness.
I prayed and felt his love.
I wondered what had become of the first gift
Sent from above.
I later learned the gift would remain
With our loving God and then
I would meet my baby in heaven
And receive the gift again.
I have no fear that I will not know
Which gift was meant for me.
So many have been thrown away,
But mine I will surely see.
For I have dreamed of my little boy
Whose eyes were big and bright.
I will run right over to him,
And know him at first sight.
I will say, "Mommy loves you!"
I know that is how I'll start.
Then I will thank God for taking care of my baby
While we were so far apart.
If I could just help one person
See their gift contains such love
And that the life inside that little gift
Came from God above,
It would honor my precious baby,
Whose life was lost to a lie.
It would stop the suffering of another child
And a mother who would otherwise be too scared to try.Latest Shared StorySerena,

2. Don't Forget That I Was Here
Poem From Perspective Of My Unborn BabyI know that I can't stay here,
but don't be sad for me.
I'm at peace with this decision;
I just wish that you could see.
Treasure moments while I'm gone.
Don't be sad that I am leaving.
We'll be together one day.

But understand it's not the end.

3. The Baby Must Be
The baby's conceived,
Without being planned.
A night of passion,
With an unknown man.
The girl is distraught,
The man is long gone.
The intimate moment,
Does not linger on.
The girl is confused,
Knows not what to do.
The friends that she has,
Are precious and few.
The girl's family
Will shun her for sure.
If she tells the truth,
They'll love her no more.
The thoughts in her head,
Ungodly at best.
"I can't have this child,
My life is a mess.
The drugs that I'm on,
Have taken their toll.
They rule my body,
My mind and my soul."
The answer's simple,
It'll just take one day.
She'll have The Clinic
Sweep the baby away.
The Lord in her heart,
Says, "Please trust in me."
And deep down inside,
She knows the baby must be.Latest Shared StoryThis story really touched me as that night of passion left me with twins and my family forced me to have an abortion, I didn't want to upset them so T went along with it. Even now I think of...

4. Remorse Is Forever
I can't believe I took your life.
I know now and I knew then, I had no right.
It was a selfish choice that I made.
I chose myself when your life I could have saved.
I thought it would be easier to terminate,
But I still feel the remorse 3 years to the date.
You were one of heaven's angels that GOD lent to me.
And I took your life; could GOD forgive me?
I was lost and confused and didn't know what to do.
So I selfishly chose me, when I should have chosen you.
I regret that I will never see your face
or comfort you with a motherly embrace.
That decision has put a strain on our marriage.
I believe what we did was the cause of our recent miscarriage.
I hope GOD can forgive us and that you can too.
To bring you back, there is nothing I wouldn't do.
Live on, my love, I will see you at the gate.
To hold, love and kiss you; Mommy just can't wait.
I'm sorry I've stolen an angel away.
I will feel remorse FOREVER because of that day.Latest Shared StoryI was 21 when I fell pregnant and I didn't know what to do. I wasn't in a relationship; he was a boy I worked with, and he was horrible from the moment he found out I was pregnant. I wanted...

5. The Funeral
Grief After AbortionThis year on Independence Day,
I had to set you free.
What should have been a miracle,
Morphed into tragedy.
I wish I said, "I love you."
Crazy, but it's true.
I wonder if you'd look like us;
Would your eyes be brown or blue?
I've pictured you wrapped in my arms,
As I hum a lullaby.
I'd give anything to see you laugh,
Or even hear you cry.
I pray that you'll forgive me,
But I understand if not.
Although your soul's in heaven now,
You'll live forever in my heart.
Rest in peace, my tiny angel.
I swear you'll always be
A shooting star, a ray of light
In our lonely galaxy. -
6. To My Little Baby
Poem From A Father Regretting AbortionIt's so hard for me to try and find that right words to say.
I'm sorry we never got the chance to meet,
the chance to see your tiny body and hold your tiny feet.

your gorgeous smile,
your beautiful eyes,

7. My Unborn Love
The day I found out about you
I didn't know what to do.
I broke down and cried
Because I knew I couldn't have you.
I went home that night
More scared than ever.
I fell asleep holding onto you
And you made me feel better.
I woke up the next morning
Saying good morning to you.
I ate a full breakfast
So that you can be full too.
During the weeks I kept you protected,
Kept you warm and safe from the unexpected.
As I laid holding my belly, looking at the moon,
I realized, my baby, that I have fallen in love with you.
My son, my daughter, my unborn love,
You are a gift sent to me and daddy from above.
I have learned a love like no other
And that's the love between a child and mother.
Baby, tonight is my last night with you.
Tomorrow you will be with someone new.
His name is GOD and he is expecting you.
To my unborn child who I will never get to meet,
I hope when you're in heaven
You will forgive daddy and me.
I love you and I'm sorry.Latest Shared StoryI was 16 years when I found out I was pregnant but sadly my boyfriend couldn't stand it. He forced me to get an abortion. He made it clear to me that if I continued with the pregnancy he...

8. For My Child
Letter From Mother To Aborted FetusFor 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,
MommyLatest Shared StoryNobody should judge you. They don't have that right. I am a conservative, right wing, prolife individual, but when I was young I had an abortion, too. I felt instant regret. I talk to my...

9. Cry Of An Unborn Child
Letter To Mommy From The WombFor My Mommy (the cry of an unborn child)
Hello Mommy, this is me, your baby-
I'm just a tiny someone,
Floating in your tummy, feeling snug and warm.
When God made me, He gave me a soul
And sent a special angel to look after me
And an angel to look after you, too.
I'm growing a little bit every day,
And soon I'll get my own fingers and toes.
Once my ears have developed properly,
I'll be able to hear the sound of your voice.
Please Mommy, don't let them hurt me-
I'll do my very best to be good.
I just want a chance to live my life and be someone special in yours.
I'll make you breakfast on Mother's Day
And draw pictures, made especially for you.
I'll sing loudly in my first school concert
And try my hardest at everything I do.
There might be days when I'm a bit naughty
And make you scream and shout,
But I'll also give you plenty of hugs and kisses
To cheer you up when you're sad.
Oh Mommy please, just give me a chance...
We don't need to live in a big fancy house,
And I don't need a room filled with toys.
All I ask of you is your love and a chance to love you back.
I want to be able to call you "Mom," and hear you say I'm yours.
I long to feel the grass tickle my toes
And the warmth of the sun on my back.
I want to experience the excitement of my first day at school
And the joy of playing with my friends.
Don't listen to the voices saying it'll be easier when I'm gone.
God chose YOU to be my mommy,
And He chose me to teach you about LOVE!
So please mommy, don't let me down.
I know God and His angels will help.
Be strong for me... hold on to me...
You'll be grateful in eternity!
Latest Shared StoryI loved this poem so much, it made me cry. I am totally against abortion. No baby should be murdered by its mother. It is sad to see children God has made being murdered. If you can't take...

10. My Almost Mother
You steal my life,
I have no chance,
I want to live,
And find life's romance.
You strike me down,
Do you have no soul?
I thought you would love me,
'Cause I love you so.
I call you mother,
And father too,
But you kill me,
And it doesn't bother you.
Do you wonder what I would be,
Do you wonder what I am,
I wanted to be a football player,
To be your little man.
My birthday was yesterday,
The one you got to miss,
But I'm up in Heaven,
With all of death's gifts.
God loves me,
I hope you love me too,
But it doesn't look like it,
Since I'm not there with you.
I hope you know I love you,
I love you very much,
But I wish you could hear my voice,
And feel my baby touch.
My heart started to beat,
When you killed me in cold blood,
My ears started to hear your voice,
It was a warming flood.
You felt me kick,
You never heard me talk,
How can you be so heartless,
To not want to see your baby walk.
I'll never have a kid myself,
Nor will my sister have a brother,
I would have protected her,
But you never protected me...
Goodbye now and forever...

11. To My Beautiful Angel
A Regret I Wish I Could UndoHello baby, my precious love of mine.
I apologize for the thing we'll never have together: TIME.
Twenty-one when I found out about you.
Your father and I didn't know what to do.
We thought things way too quickly
And chose the easy way out.
Within a few days you were on a new route,
To heaven that is.
I'm sorry I chose my education over you.
Three years left,
And I didn't think I could handle you too.
But now I wish I would have given it all up for you.
I will never get to hold you in my arms or watch you grow.
My heart is broken, full of regret and sorrow.
I know now what it's like to be fully broken.
I know my heart will never fully repair,
Because all I can wish
Is to be able to run my fingers through your hair.
I talk to you every morning and every night,
Telling you how much I love you
And wish to hold you tight.
It is not enough,
But there's nothing else I can do.
I am sorry, my love, for what I put you through!
I do not ask for your forgiveness,
Because it's something I do not deserve.
I did something so intolerable and un-superb.
All I want you to know is that every day
I wish I could return and not have you diminished
And not have the doctor tell me that the job is finished.
I love you so much, and I'm sure your daddy does too.
You would have been so beautiful and perfect,
No bad genes or any type of defect.
I wish to dream of your full face complexion.
If I could choose anything now,
You'd win that election.
I wished so hard
That the procedure had miraculously failed.
That would have been only in a perfect tale.
I daydream of how it would be in my other life,
You know, having you and holding you tight,
Staring into your beautiful eyes,
And hearing your cry as the sun's about to rise.
But now I must accept what I have done
And face the fact that you are forever gone.
Although you are not on this earth,
You truly have so much worth,
So in my heart you'll remain eternally.
Always and forever, I love you so much, baby. -
12. Unheard Voice
Nine months are slowly getting close,
I am surrounded by the blanket of yours;
Slowly I am growing in your womb,
Please don't send me to the tomb;
Oh mother, can't you hear my voice?
Don't you have another choice?
Aren't you happy? You can see me soon,
I am excited to see the world of sun and moon;
In your womb, I am counting days,
To show you mother, my little gaze;
Oh mother, can't you hear my voice?
Don't you have another choice?
Mother, I am excited for my first toy,
I promise I will become your joy;
Please don't feel me as a burden,
Whatever you decide cannot be undone;
Oh mother, can't you hear my voice?
Don't you have another choice?
I know you are waiting to see me play,
More than you I am excited to see that day;
Oh mother, won't you start my life story,
Please don't make my life a history;
Oh mother, can't you hear my voice?
Don't you have another choice?
I am excited to play in your lap,
With my deeds, I will make you clap;
Oh mother, give me a chance to live,
Even if you don't, I will forgive;
Oh mother, my life is now a question,
Please don't give it name of abortion.
Latest Shared StoryPlease have your baby. Like you say, it could be your only chance. If you can't raise him, there are many wonderful people that would love to adopt him. Believe me, you will mourn this child...

13. Right Of Life
Unborn Baby To MotherTaken away because of the fear of responsibility,
Taken away and denied opportunity
Taken away so I could not be.
Oh, mama, didn't you love me?
Taken away after a life so short,
Taken away and pushed to abort
Taken away so I could not be.
Oh, mama, didn't you love me?
Couldn't you see that I too, had the same right to opportunity?
I began to grow inside you,
I know you were scared,
But mama,
I was too.
Taken away because of your fear of society,
Taken away because it was against your sense of propriety
Taken away so I could not be.
Oh, mama, didn't you love me?
Taken away and denied my life,
Taken away in such a strife
Taken away so I could not be.
Oh, mama, didn't you love me?
You see, mama,
A life so short is not a life,
A life so short was taken without a possible fight
A life so short ended with no right.
Mama,
That was my life.Latest Shared Storyvery touching... If only everyone could read this because, just maybe it could change the mind of that one person who is considering to let their baby go.

She could have had my eyes,
his cute button nose.
But I took the easy way out,
now sadly no one knows.
He could have played sports,
maybe been best on the team.

he didn't even have a dream.
I could have been a great mother,
so much love and a lot of care.
But I killed my baby,
now I hold grief that I can not bear. -
15. Dear Baby Unborn
Poem About Giving Up A BabyDear baby unborn,
You came out of the blue.
I took a pregnancy test,
And then I knew,
My world turned upside down.
Inside I could feel you;
It made me smile,
But part of me knew I couldn't keep you.
You became my world.
I would talk to you hour on hour.
I grew to love you.
I wished the decision was out of my power.
See, I wanted to be your mum,
I wanted to keep you safe,
I wanted to hold you close,
I wanted to be the one you depended on.
For a second I thought I could do it.
I thought I could be the one,
I thought I was ready for it,
But in just two days you were gone.
You see, mummy loved you
With every part of her heart,
But Mummy knew that we were better off apart
Because Mummy couldn't give you the life that you deserved.
There isn't a single day
Where Mummy doesn't wish that she could reach up
And grab you back down to earth,
Place you safely back in Mummy's tummy,
And show you how much you're worth.
Smiling is hard without you.
I grieve for you every day,
But this was my decision,
I chose to let you fly away,
Fly away with the angels,
And look down on me from up above.
Understand my decision, baby,
Wasn't done through a lack of love.
I loved all that you were, with every part of me.
That will never change,
You will always be my first,
My baby unborn at 65 days.Latest Shared StoryDear hole in my heart,

16. My Sweet Wonderful Child
Poem About Regretting AbortionMy 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 heavenLatest Shared StoryChristina I feel the same way. This anger and bitterness that resides within me hasn't gone away. I'm doing a bible study called forgiven and set free that is truly helping me. I pray and...

17. Letter To My Unborn Baby
From A FatherTo my unborn baby,
Selfishness cannot even explain,
The emotion that turned into pain.
Mommy and I were just not ready,
Especially with our relationship so unsteady.
My unborn baby please forgive me,
For now I'm beginning to see.
Hiding from the pain of my decision,
Only puts me into depression.
I tried to be strong for mommy,
It's not your fault,
Her and I were not meant to be.
You are my greatest achievement I'll never get to see.
Boy or girl it doesn't matter, I love you just the same,
It happened so fast you were never given a name.
For all I have to remember you by is my heart and the gift I gave your mommy for Mother's Day,
Just know the thought of you will never go away.
Your eyes that will never see,
Your heart that will never beat.
You will always be a part of me,
From your head down to your feet.
For the tears you will never get to cry,
Worry not my little one.
I've shed enough tears for you and I,
For what I did to you cannot be undone.
Please forgive me my unborn child,
For I cannot forgive myself.
I've learned from this and trust me beautiful,
I will never repeat this mistake.
Rest your little head my child,
Watch over me and mommy from heaven.
For though our relationship got a little wild,
Know you will never be forgotten.
I can't wait for the day when we finally meet,
And I can see you stand on your own two feet.
I'll dream of what your first words will be,
Before you speak them please wait for me.
I have to go now but know I'll talk to you every night,
For now my unborn baby,
Please sleep tight.
To my unborn baby,
I'll love you forever.
Your father. -

You were inside me but only for a while.

To my angel in the sky
because of me you had to die
I was weak and selfish and now it's too late

and I'll never forgive myself for that day
I love you so much and I'm filled with regret
August 12 I will never forget
One day I will meet you and hold you so tight
until then my darling

20. A Father's Pain
She aborted our unborn with a heart of hate
She stole two souls and could not wait
The love of a child was waiting to be born
As the soul of a Father could only mourn
Final revelation explained the pain
For what was missing, I couldn't explain
Her darkest secret was kept from me
For Forty years I did not see
The cry of my baby haunting my mind
The dreaming hurt and pain intertwined
In the dark of night till early dawn
It's echo's in the day, made me withdrawn
A maddening sound of a babies cry
Is loudly heard across the ocean and sky
Even across time, did not end the cry
I could only pray as I looked in the sky
It was not the sound of a baby of glee
Where are you Daddy, In my time of need?
For Daddy I need you, here for me
To stop Mom's hate, for her love I need
I could hear in my dreams, Oh Daddy Why?
Make them stop, you can only try
I know you love me, but please don't cry
Only Mom knows the reason why
Please tell Mommy, I Love her so
I feel the pain, in the heart of my soul
Daddy should know, but was never told
Your worry is over, God take my soul
Daddy I know you would raise me well
Mommy wouldn't have me or Love me still
For she had dreams but not the will
To include us both in her life of thrills
Daddy don't worry, for God will know
Your Hugs and smiles will always flow
I'm sorry Mommy for offending you
For your smiling face I'll never see Glow
God sent me to you as a gift from above
To make your lives, fulfilled with Love
But now I'm an Angel and I will wait
To hear Gods decision on your fate
As I forgive you, he will too
For all I want is your Loving touch
To be with You and Daddy too
To see your Glow and feel your touchLatest Shared StoryTo Diane, Sorry it took me so long to respond. Your post just recently showed up on my poem response. First I want to thank you for your kind comment. But mainly I want to thank you for...
