Abortion Poems

Poems about Abortion

Viewing abortion as a simple, convenient procedure is misguided. Women who have chosen to abort may face feelings of sorrow, shame, and guilt. The body will physically heal after an abortion given time, but the psychological scars left behind can take longer to fade. Everyone has their own opinion on the moral implications of having an abortion. Many women report that being pregnant feels like having a baby inside them and that it is psychologically painful to have an abortion. There are times when having an abortion seems like the right thing to do. For example when the mother is unprepared or her health is at stake. Others insist on a woman's right to choose.

27 Poems on Grieving with Abortion Pain

1. The Gift Of Life
- By Marni Fults
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2009
As a post abortive woman, I realize that the shame of my abortion kept me from revealing to others how an abortion really affected my life. It is our fear of admitting what we have done that separates us from God. If more women would come forward, we could reveal the truth about abortion and the lifelong pain it causes.

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 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.

2. My Unborn Love
- By Dimplez
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011
I wanted to keep my baby, but I know I couldn't. I'm 19 years old with a very strict Hispanic family. I cried days before my termination and days after. I was 10 weeks. Just before my termination I saw my baby on the ultrasound just moving away..looking happy. It was very hard. And a life lesson truly learned.

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.

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 could 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.

3. Don't Forget That I Was Here
- By Sophie R.
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2014
After my abortion earlier this year, I found it hard to come to terms with my feelings of doubt and regret. I decided to write this poem from the perspective of my unborn baby. I find a lot of comfort in this poem, as I know I will meet my tiny baby one day; this is not the end.

Poem From Perspective Of My Unborn Baby

I 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.

I 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.
Till then, just keep believing.

I know days go so slowly,
But understand it's not the end.
You know I'm watching over you,
You feel the comfort that I send.

Don't forget that I was here;
You'll never be alone.
The time will come eventually,
And then I will come home.

I hope you find your happiness.
As days go by, you'll see,
Remember, though we've said goodbye,
It's not the end for me.

4. The Baby Must Be
- By Ronald Doe
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2008
I was asked to write this poem by a friend whose niece was distraught because she was pregnant and was addicted to drugs. She felt because of the drugs it was best to have an abortion. Her uncle showed her this poem and told her it was not too late to stop using the drugs. He also promised that the family would be there for her. The girl decided to quit drugs and have the baby. I know the baby was born healthy, but I do not know how they are doing today as a result of losing contact with her uncle.

The baby's conceived,
Without being planned.
A night of passion,
With an unknown man.

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.

5. Dear Baby Unborn
- By Lotty B.
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2014
I fell pregnant when I was 18. I was at University and didn't know what to do for the best. It wasn't an easy decision to make--in fact, it was the hardest one that I have ever made, and I regret it every single day. I've never been through so much pain. I didn't think that I would be able to carry on, but I found the strength because I keep telling myself that I live for my baby now. R.I.P angel.

Poem About Giving Up A Baby

Dear baby unborn,
You came out of the blue.
I took a pregnancy test,
And then I knew,

Dear 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.

6. Why Don't You Love Me?
- By Sarah
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2011
I'm 15, and my friend is getting an abortion.

Mommy, Mommy, don't let me go.
I wanna see the world
and know everything you know.
I wanna see the world

Mommy, Mommy, don't let me go.
I wanna see the world
and know everything you know.
I wanna see the world
the way it is today.
I wanna see the world
before it goes away.
One day, I may very well cure a disease.
Please don't keep this dream from me.
I want a chance to breath the air.
I want a chance, now Mommy, this isn't fair.
I want to feel love, sadness, and hate.
I want my own name, life, and fate.
I don't ask for much, just to survive.
I want to open my eyes and know I'm alive.
I want to change the future to make a better place.
I wanna be able to see your beautiful face,
wake up each morning and live another day,
and someday dig the hole of my grave.
So mommy, you hold my life in you hands.
If you drop me now I will understand.
Forget about the guilt weighing you down.
Mommy, please take my body and lay it in the ground
'cause I am yours and forever will be.
Just tell me mommy,
why don't you love me?

7. My Sweet Little Angel
- By Bianca Sahagun
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2011
I was 17 when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. Me and my boyfriend both didn't want our baby to grow up without the absolute best life for him/her. So we decided to get an abortion because we didn't have jobs. And there was no way to support him. This was the hardest decision of my life. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss or think of my baby. I can't wait until I finally see my little angel.

I can't sleep, my body is aching
the pain in my chest, my heart is breaking.
The bond that we share I thought was so strong,
but obviously I was so wrong.

I can't sleep, my body is aching
the pain in my chest, my heart is breaking.
The bond that we share I thought was so strong,
but obviously I was so wrong.
The child we made, so precious and sweet
is tearing us apart week by week.
My heart is torn between my two loves.
Do I chose my true love, or my child unborn?
This is the hardest decision I will make in my life,
and I assure you this cuts like a knife.
To my child, I love you dear,
I'm sorry I can't keep you here.
It's not that I don't want you,
believe me when I say my love for you is true.
I'm sorry you won't get a chance at life
because your mommy is a bad wife.
If I could take your place, I would do it, oh so quick.
I know that this is hurting you, and it's hurting me as well.
I feel as if God should just throw me in a cell.
My heart is breaking,
my body is shaking,
you are forsaking.
I know when it's time for me to go
you'll be waiting for me at heaven's door and you'll say,
"Mommy, look how much I've grown!"
and we'll live together forever in heaven.
Until I see you again, I'll always love you, and I'll always be thinking of you.
My precious little angel, you will always be in mommy's heart.
I'll never forget you, neither will daddy, until we meet again.

I LOVE YOU, MY BABY!

8. Remorse Is Forever
- By Ebony Angel B.
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008
I am a married mother of 3. Together my husband and I made a decision to terminate our pregnancy. The choice we made on that one day has caused pain and heartache to the two of us and our children for 3 years now. Unfortunately in life, there are some things you can never change. I just hope I can forgive myself and my story can be a wake up call to someone else.

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 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.

9. Cry Of An Unborn Child
- By Gabrielle Kruger
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2017
To be honest, I have always felt strongly against abortion. This poem represents the voice of an unborn child pleading for its life.

Letter To Mommy From The Womb

For My Mommy (the cry of an unborn child)

Hello Mommy, this is me, your baby-
I'm just a tiny someone,

For 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!

10. You Were Inside Me
- By Shirley Daley
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2011
This poem is for any woman who lives with the regret of having an abortion.

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

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.

11. What Now?
- By Jenny
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2011
I was an 18-year-old girl facing the hardest decision of my life. Do I choose life or death? Both would have changed my life forever. I was so helpless because of course I was supposed to do the right thing; I have a full athletic scholarship and without that, I had no way to pay for college. My boyfriend didn't understand. He wasn't there to watch it move around or hear the heartbeat. All I kept thinking was what now. Do I chose life or death; either way I was going to become another statistic.

Choosing Abortion

Your knees are shaking.
You see that red line appear.
How far can you go from here?
You look in the mirror.

Your knees are shaking.
You see that red line appear.
How far can you go from here?
You look in the mirror.
All you see is a face full of fear.
What now? you think.
Would you rather have a child with nothing
Or have a life full of something?
You want to tell him.
Full of excitement, you can hardly hold a tear.
Look, something is growing,
But you know the consequences.
What now? you think.
A tiny image appeared.
Now you fear
What now? you think.
How can you destroy something so dear?
You shed a tear, hoping God will hear.
You pray, "God, please don't let it fear
Tell them I didn't mean for it to happen.
But for now, God, please hold my child dear."
You hear the tiny sound of a drum.
That's when it all goes numb
All you can hear is that heart go thump.
What now? you think.
The decision is yours, they say.
No matter what, it's yours.
A cruel blessing in disguise.
How can you tell this guy?
What now? you think.
The day has come.
One last sound.
It won't stop jumping around.
God, where can you be found?
You feel it moving.
Maybe it knows what you are doing
To stop that poor little baby in the making.
What now? you think.
It's done.
You feel shunned.
Maybe you got to feel all of the pain.
Your tears pour down like it's raining.
Now you think what have I done?

Mummy's sorry she's so scared.
Hush, little baby, got nowhere to live.
Hush, little baby, got nothing to give.

It's too hard to let you stay.
You're so young.
Mummy doesn't have time to try.
Daddy says he don't want another kid yet,
He's back with his ex.
It's for the best.
Hush, little baby, can't buy you a thing.
And daddy bought her an engagement ring.

13. To My Little Baby
- By Ryan
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2009
My ex-girlfriend decided to have an abortion. I did not want this to happen, so I wrote a poem to express my feelings, to say sorry and to tell my baby that I care.

Poem From A Father Regretting Abortion

It'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.

It'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.

I have an image of you in my mind,
your gorgeous smile,
your beautiful eyes,
a picture,
an image,
something I'll never let go.

Every Christmas,
every birthday,
I'll do nothing but wish you were here,
right by my side.

A boy or a girl, I'll never know,
this love I have for you,
I'll never be able to show.

You'll always be Daddy's special one and Mummy's, too,
and we want you to know we'll always love you.

I wrote you this poem to show I care,
this pain,
this hurt I cannot bear.

It's time to sleep now. my little baby.
One day,
someday,
I'll be able to hold you tight and give you that proper kiss goodnight.

Goodnight Sweetheart
Love you always

Mummy and Daddy

14. For My Child
- By Ryan
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2011
I was 18 when I did it. I was going to take responsibility for my child, but I let my boyfriend's family talk me into it. I am not proud of myself, but please it's hard enough to not judge myself, so please no one judge me...

Letter From Mother To Aborted Fetus

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

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

Nobody 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...

15. To My Beautiful Angel
- By Sasha
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2016
This poem goes out to my precious baby whom I have let go. You will always remain in my heart. I'm so sorry! I wish every day I could wake up and still have you with me.

A Regret I Wish I Could Undo

Hello 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.

Hello 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.

16. My Almost Mother
- By Whitni Brandle
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2011
I feel very strongly about abortion and read about and know about a lot of people that have had abortions. To me it is murder and killing a soul before it has a chance. God creates these souls inside a mother's body so they can be born, not murdered. I hope you enjoy this poem, it's the deepest I have.

You steal my life,
I have no chance,
I want to live,
And find life's romance.

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...
My Almost Mother.

17. What Could Have Been?
- By Jessica
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2011
I wrote this poem for women out there who think that abortions are ok. I have had friends take abortions as the right answer, but they are wrong. You never know what your baby has in store, you should allow it to live its life instead of taken the easy way out.

She could have had my eyes,
his cute button nose.
But I took the easy way out,
now sadly no one knows....

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.
But I took his life so quickly,
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.

18. Unheard Voice
- By Littin Thomas Modoor
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2009
Abortion!!
There are people who do not care about this topic. For a moment of fun between a boy and girl often ends in the serious topic of abortion. Mostly, the innocent child in mother's womb becomes the victim or prey. I hope this poem will change many mother's and father's mind so that the innocent unheard voice will get a chance to live.
!!Please don't give your child the name of abortion. !!

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;...

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.

19. Right Of Life
- By Ashley
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2011
This poem was inspired by the many stories surrounding each of us. It is written from a child's point of view and addresses the greatly debated topic of Abortion.

Unborn Baby To Mother

Taken 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 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.

20. Letter To My Unborn Baby
- By Stephen M.
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2013
I met my girlfriend at a young age, I was 23 and she was 19. For two year we dated and had the typical young person relationship filled with drama. At about a year and four months in the relationship I got the call that no one ever expects. She was pregnant, I'm not going to get into any details for her sake because while she looks at me and tells me she doesn't want me, I still care for her. I've never written a poem before but for once in my life I wanted to express my heart.

From A Father

To my unborn baby,

Selfishness cannot even explain,
The emotion that turned into pain.

To 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.
