Birth mother's choice

words cannot express the feelings I have inside,
i carry a baby and have to decide.

Should I keep this precious gift or say good-bye?

All I seem to do is pray and cry.

What kind of life would the baby live?

A single young mother does not have much to give.

The love for this baby will grow and grow
oh god! I just don't know.

Termination is not an option,
i think the choice should be adoption.

I want to find a family who is loving and kind
for I am having to leave my baby behind.

They will raise my baby to be their own,
i will step back and leave them alone.

It is now time to say good-bye
i will wonder, worry, and cry.

This choice of mine was hard to make
but I had my baby's life at stake.



Let me know what you think
