Why did you have to rip our child from the womb ?
Why did you have to send him to his eternal tomb?
Why couldn't you let me be a happy father?
You say you have an explanation but don't even bother.
Would having our child having their first breath really be a crime?
Why do you look at it as stopping it just in time?
No matter how you look at it you took a life
Doesn't matter if it was by scalpel or knife.
You ended a gift from God
You act like it doesn't bother you
But I know that's a facade
Because that could never be true.
Now I pick up my pen
So that you can see the beauty within
For a child is a beautiful gift
If you take it away you create a permanent rift.
Some say it is a choice
But I say we need to hear their unspoken voice
Let them live
For we do not know if your sin God can forgive.

This was a poem written because of my challenge and because I read a story where despite the father's protests a mother had their unborn son aborted because she did not want a kid at that time. A fetus is a life so no one should end it.
