I never had a chance to hold you as you cried the breath of life... I was scared, oppressed and overwhelmed; consumed with all this strife... I never gave you the chance to know you as my child... To see your face light up and watch you as you smiled... I never gave you the chance to taste your first meal... Forever are we deprived of watching you see, touch and feel... I never gave you the chance to give you a loving home... To dry your little tears or buy you an ice cream cone... I never gave you the chance to look into my eyes... To hold you in my arms comforting you as you cry... I wonder if your eyes would have been brown, hazel or blue... I want you to know how much I regret not ever knowing you... I didn't face the truth because I was too blind to see... That it was Jesus who had loved you and sent you to be with me... I ask for your forgiveness as you know I am your mother... I am sorry you never met your dad and your two older brothers... Forever in my heart there lies a painful thorn... All because I chose that you should not be born...
