Small, trusting, vulnerable <br />you never had a chance. <br />Victim of a negligent choice, <br />I was afraid to dance the dance. <br />I took you for granted terribly, <br />thought you could be replaced. <br />Put my wants ahead of your needs, <br />you were a consequence I couldn't face. <br />Now I realize my error in judgement, <br />how badly I messed up. <br />Caught up in my own selfishness, <br />the damage already done. <br />Thankfully I've learned a lesson, <br />that only tragedy can bring. <br />Passing the consequences of your decision, <br />can only bring guilt and pain. <br />It was cruel and undeserved <br />the pain you felt that day. <br />I was afraid, angry, and so alone <br />I let my fear lead the way. <br />I realize now, I betrayed you- <br />in the worst possible way. <br />I deserted and abandoned you <br />on that awful day. <br />My precious child, please know <br />I'm more sorry than I can say. <br />But I know you're in Heaven above <br />and I'll see you again one day. <br />Then I can put my arms around you <br />comfort you and hold you close. <br />Tell you how much I love you <br />for now I see, it's you that matters most. <br /> <br /> <br />* A Reminder About Copyright * <br />If you want to use a poem from this site please make your request to: janiceraymer@ymail.com <br />I will almost certainly say yes but this does me the courtesy of a request, and keeps the potential user from infringement of my copyright which is absolutely retained. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br />.Janis Land-Raymer<br /><br />Janis Land Raymer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/abortion-28/
