A Birth Mother's Sorrow

You knew in your heart what you must do,

hand on your belly as your stomach grew.

A moment of passion, caught in the past,

the relationship ended it could not last.

I know you were thinking, what would you do?

This emotion surreal left you feeling real blue.

I know that you did not have a say,

because after my birth I was taken away.

The truth was well hidden from everyone's view,

but then again maybe there's some that just knew.

When I arrived on that fateful day,

you weren't given a chance to see if I was ok.

From a distance you saw me as nurses walked by,

listening intently to your daughters first cry.

the past haunts forever, we'll never forget,
What was supposed to be special was far from perfect.

Time doesn't heal as the memory holds strong,

leaves me here tortured, how they'd go it so wrong?

Do you ever wander if I'm happy or sad,

or if somebody out there is treating me bad?

Until you find out you may never know,

but if given the chance then we'll heal and let go.
