I cannot see the sunshine
I cannot feel the rain
I cannot hear the laughter
I only feel the pain -
I cannot see the blue sky
I cannot feel the breeze
I cannot hear the rustle
of the wind in the trees.

I cannot hear the heartbeat
of the sound in its place
I cannot feel the warmth
of the sun upon my face -
I cannot see the beauty
of the day at dawn
I cannot hear the birds
Sing their gay song.

I cannot feel the sand
or the water splashing me
I cannot hear the waves
of the gentle sea -
I cannot feel the coldness
of the icy snow
I cannot see a mountain
Or a river flow.

I cannot hear the wind blow
Or see the stars above
I cannot feel the warmth
of tenderness and love -
I cannot hear the echoes
of my silent scream
I cannot see tomorrow
I cannot even dream.

I cannot feel anything
Only tormenting pain
I cannot hear you cry for me
as I scream again -
I cannot make you hear me
I cannot make you see
That I only want to be wanted
and for you to love me.

I know this is a controversial topic....but it is something I feel strongly about. It is about a baby during termination....it's cries and it's feelings. It isn't just a fetus, but a life. And that life is a gift, and to some a miracle for those who may never have their own. There is no good reason to terminate a life - adult or baby. It is a gift.... to treasure.
This is the first time that I have ever written about something so personal yet controversial, and I mean no offense - I just wish to help light a way for those who need it. God gave us the gift of life. Life is a gift - for all!
