I came across this touching poem from my friend's blog thattouch my heart.
Month One
Mommy,I am only 8 inches long,but I have all my organs.I love the sound of your voice.Every time I hear it,I wave my arms and legs.The sound of your heart beatis my favorite lullaby.
Month Two
Mommy,today I learned how to suck my thumb.If you could see me,you could definitely tell that I am a baby.I’m not big enough to survive outside my home though.It is so nice and warm in here.
Month Three
You know what Mommy?I’m a girl!!I hope that makes you happy.I want you to always be happy.I don’t like it when you cry.You sound so sad.It makes me sad too,and I cry with you even thoughyou can’t hear me.
Month Four
Mommy,my hair is starting to grow.It is very short and fine,but I will have a lot of it.I spend a lot of my time exercising.I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toesand stretch my arms and legs.I am becoming quite good at it too.
Month Five
You went to the doctor today.Mommy, he lied to you.He said that I’m not a baby.I am a baby Mommy, your baby.I think and feel.Mommy, what’s abortion?
Month Six
I can hear that doctor again.I don’t like him.He seems cold and heartless.Something is intruding in my home.The doctor called it a needle.Mommy, what is it? It burns!Please make him stop!I can’t get away from it!Mommy! HELP me!
Month Seven
Mommy,I am okay.I am in Jesus’s arms.He is holding me.He told me about abortion.Why didn’t you want me Mommy?
The feeling of you crying so loudly with no one responding. Oh so depressing.
