Mother what is this I hear you say,
If I could talk I’d tell you it’s
okay
I may not be born yet but I have ears
I’m only young but can sense
your fears
I cannot see you yet but I do have eyes.
Mother I hate to hear your lonely
cries.
I know you’re feeling afraid and sad,
I know your plan makes you
feel bad.
But don’t feel bad mother please don’t cry,
I understand that you’ve been
told a lie
All in the name of your choice and right,
my life is destined
to lose its fight
I wish that I could make you see
that life will work out fine with
me
They’ve told you that this is not the case,
I’m sad you’ll never get to
see my face
But in the end I’ll be okay ,
it’s you I worry about when I’m taken
away
You may feel pain in your body and soul,
what has happened to you is
bound to take its toll
Despite all this mother you now have a mission,
to tell your story and
make them listen
To tell them how you’ll never forget,
how you feel now
and how you regret
I hope that in some way you can be strong,
to say the words abortion is
wrong
To say you know because you were there ,
you saw first hand the lack
of care
The lack of compassion , the lack of joy
and how you found out that I was
a boy
I’m not saying this to make you feel bad,
I’m okay now mother it’s
for you I feel sad
I know that everyday you feel sorry,
but you are forgiven so do not
worry
If you can warn mothers about what you’ve gone through,
you may have
the power to save a life too.
