Unborn Child

To my Unborn Child that I never got to hold,

It's been a few years since that day that I had you removed from inside me. I know that you were a gift but you were not suppse to happen when you did. I love you and I regret what I did to this day, I even tried to join you but the world needed me to stay. I do not know if you were a boy or girl, it was too soon to tell but I love you still and I hope that you're doing well. I may not believe in God like I should, but for a little baby I think I could. I know you're in heaven and you're safe in an angel's arms, born again to someone who could keep you, and someone who won't cause you harm. I cry as I write this, because I miss you so. Even though you are that baby I didn't get a chance to know. I love you more and more even though we will never meet, I love you and my tears fall at my feet. But I know you forgive me because the Lord has taught you to. Forgive and forget, and I'm so proud of you little baby that I will never have. I'm sorry I did this to you, keeping you-- I wish I had. Abortion is something I will never do again, even if that means I have a million kids, or even just nine or ten. I will never leave a child alone in this world because I know that I left you, my little boy or girl. And so I wrote this to apologize for my mistake, the Lord gave you as a gift and your life I did take. I'm sorry again but I love you to this day and if I could I would go back and have you stay.

Love you mother that you never had.
