Abortion Poem by Janis Land Raymer

Small, trusting, vulnerable
you never had a chance.
Victim of a negligent choice,
I was afraid to dance the dance.
I took you for granted terribly,
thought you could be replaced.
Put my wants ahead of your needs,
you were a consequence I couldn't face.
Now I realize my error in judgement,
how badly I messed up.
Caught up in my own selfishness,
the damage already done.
Thankfully I've learned a lesson,
that only tragedy can bring.
Passing the consequences of your decision,
can only bring guilt and pain.
It was cruel and undeserved
the pain you felt that day.
I was afraid, angry, and so alone
I let my fear lead the way.
I realize now, I betrayed you-
in the worst possible way.
I deserted and abandoned you
on that awful day.
My precious child, please know
I'm more sorry than I can say.
But I know you're in Heaven above
and I'll see you again one day.
Then I can put my arms around you
comfort you and hold you close.
Tell you how much I love you
for now I see, it's you that matters most.
