A Second Thought

I survived my birth
unwanted as it may be
I am still alive

I avoided death
a sharpened blade it may be
I lay breathing here

I lay on my backside
while my life is decided
in the other room

what fate awaits me
a sharpened blade to my heart
as I lay screaming

or a second thought
and have waiting arms ready
to hold me with love

whose arms shall they be
the arms of death waiting there
or the arms of love

who shall receive me
whose arms shall be waiting there
look a second thought

arms of love reach out
to comfort my torn body
the arms of death left

death could not have me
the arms of love fought for me
I am wrapped in love

tears fall on my face
the arms of love weep loudly
your daddy is here
