Poem -
ONE CHILD ONLY
In its mother's womb
A babe did grow
Birthed on moonless night
In the cold cold snow
And by weeping winds
It was swaddled tight
It's crying sounds
Lost to the night
Lost little babe
On the mountain peaks
No shawl of warmth
Blue rocks for feet
And from frozen earth
Came comfort none
No hunger met
Babes struggle done
Then the arms of light
Reached down a hand
Took that tiny babe
To the loving land
And there he thrives
Amongst clouds of mist
Coloured pink and gold
By the rainbows kiss
For the mother's heartΒ
Never meant for him
And his loveless death
One nations
Sin.

absolutely beautiful
Hi Lisa, thankyou. Have a very wonderful Christmas...xx
This is very sad, recently, the remains of a baby were found on a beech here in Ireland. I'm not sure of the circumstances regarding the mother but it's so sad.
This poem has a deep message, well thought out rhyming and flows brilliantly.

Yes ..I was reading about when China had a one child only and babies especially girls were left in the gutters to die. And you are right..it happens all over the world due to poverty, religion or culture. We are not a nice species Gerald, thanks for reading and commenting and merry Christmas to you and yours xx
Gerard..sorry xx
Thankyou so much SD xx
