Life

I wrote these almost five years ago. On this anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision, I'm sharing them again. Also linking to the post by Frederica Matthews-Green: http://www.frederica.com/writings/the-judgement-of-the-next-generation.html. I am so thankful that my children's first mother's chose life.





(1)
Incarnate
Could she have seen you
touched your tiny fingers
and toes
so small they could be missed
by anyone
except a God
so big
He can be infinitely small

(2)
I'm choking on the horror
that my beloved might
not have lived
beyond the borders of
viability
and

You, now, might never
have been
and

there would be no Life

(3)
I have no tears
there are not enough
in all the oceans of the world
to repent
for not knowing
