Thoughts of a Troubled Mother, and the Unborn's Reply

 Thoughts of a Troubled Mother

By: John B. Juat

This pregnancy is giving me so much stress

I've made a mistake; I've made a huge mess

Since I'm not ready to suffer the consequences

To abort my child is the only option, I guess

It's my body, it's my life, I should be free to choose

People may not agree, but I have my own views

If I take away the life of an unborn, what is there to lose?

I believe that not being ready is a reasonable excuse

It's okay if my own child I decide to kill

Anyway each of us are given free will

At least I'll have one less obligation to fulfill

At least I'll have one less mouth to fill

This has been such a huge burden on me

If i continue this, I will no long be so happy

Sickness, weakening, discomfort brought about my pregnancy

If i continue this, I will no long be free

It will be pointless to let my child live

Because there is absolutely nothing i can possibly give

Dearest mama, I'm sad to see you so troubled because of me

But I hope you will allow me to see the earth's beauty

Please mama, take me home, and let me be a part of your family

Where I will experience abundant joy, love, and harmony

Choose me, mama; allow me to grow in your womb

Nourish me with love; please don't let this be my tomb

You may be scared and worried, I can easily assume

But let me live, mama, in this world there's so much room!

I am precious and beautiful; I am not filthy mud

I am meant to be this perfectly bloomed rose, though I'm still a bud

What don't you understand, mama? I am more than just blood

I am already being formed in the image of our Loving God

Let me live even if there are countless worries, it may seem

Let your love flow to me like a free-flowing stream

I have so much potential in me, I am capable of living my dream

So open your heart, open your ears, mama; listen to my silent scream

Listen to me carefully, mama, please hear my plea

Accept me, love me, and respect my dignity

Ask for guidance, mama, that you will clearly see

I am meant to be with my Creator someday for all eternity

Mama, I hope you understand how much I love you

It's an immeasurable kind of love that i assure you is true

I am a treasure, a gift, a blessing; I will make your life new

Please give me this chance, mama; I hope you love me too

Mama, I do not need power, fame and abundant money

Love me wholeheartedly, mama, it's enough for me
