Rape

I often wonder, my precious child

 If you will ever forgive me
For sending you back to heaven prematurely.
Will we  meet again...
When I have left this mortal existence
And slipped into your realm?
 

You entered my body through a violent act.
Your mere presence inside me;
A daily reminder of that horrific night.
That evil man took away my sanctuary.
 

Not only did he  steal my body,
He stole my virtue,  my heart and my soul.
It has been up to me to piece back together
The human wreckage he left behind.
I have restructured  my identity
And emerged a renewed young woman,
Yet my heart is still drawn to your unborn cries.
 

I now know I can handle any challenge life may give me
Now it is my hope that God can forgive me
For sending you back to heaven,
Before you even had a chance
To experience a mortal existence.
Bless you sweet, innocent child of mine
