So many years ago <br />So young <br />I made a choice <br />A decision that I have always regretted <br />Never forgotten <br />Never forgiven myself for it <br />Now all I can do is hope <br />Hope that my daugther <br />Will forgive a mother's terrible sin <br />Cos all I wanna do <br />Is find her <br />Hold her <br />In my aching, empty arms and whisper <br />I want my baby back <br /> <br />I was so young <br />Stupid and in love <br />Thought that if I gave up my child <br />My boyfriend would love me <br />Instead, I lost it all <br />His respect <br />My little girl <br />Everything that ever meant anything <br />I know that <br />I can't go back <br />None of us ever can <br />But I can try to make better by finding her <br />To tell her at last <br />I want my baby back <br /> <br />Never meant to hurt her <br />God I swear <br />I thought that it was for the best <br />If she lived her life <br />Without me <br />Just a kid myself <br />When I had her <br />I did't know any better <br />I did't understand <br />Later on <br />I would miss her <br />Miss her so much <br />It was almost like a part of me was dying inside <br />Crying please <br />I want my baby back <br /> <br />Now my hands shake <br />And oh how my heart quakes <br />I have her number <br />But do I dare call? <br />Do I dare to disturb her perfect life? <br />With a mother <br />She never knew <br />A mother she might not <br />Ever want to know <br />Should I take that step? <br />I do so long to hear her voice <br />See the woman that she has become <br />Please God <br />Give me the courage that I need tonight <br />The courage to call and tell her <br /> <br />Darling, it's your mother <br />Your real mother <br />And I want my baby back <br /> <br />2008 Ramona Thompson<br /><br />Ramona Thompson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-want-my-baby-back/
