Ebony Angel B.

She told her daughter she hated her and wished she was never born.
She didn't even seem to care that the child's heart was torn.
She blamed the child for all of her heartache and pain.
Did she realize emotional abuse can drive a child insane?
She said her child was the reason she never achieved her dreams.
Those words hurt her child more than they may have seemed.
All her daughter wanted was her love and her affection.
But all she ever got was her mother's constant rejection,
Feeling like a lost child with no one to love.
She prayed to be taken away to the heavens above,
Not knowing why she just wasn't good enough.
Why, when she needed gentleness, was she treated so rough.
Wondering why her existence caused her mother so much pain,
Longing for her mother's love she probably would never gain.
Wanting her mother to tell her she was a blessing,
That she was not the reason for her mother's stressing.
If there is a little girl out there that feels this way,
Just know you are one of God's angels, and he loves you more each day.

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.
