Of a babies cry echoing
In my mind so loud
A cry that never had a chance
To sound itself in life
Never to be heard by others
A cry that was silenced
Before it was begun
Ended by a hand of cruelty
A life terminated
By the hand of death
Before it could be
A question left forever
In my mind of what
Could have been
Never to know the feel
Of its body snuggled to mine
The touch of its tiny hand
Never to feel it suckle
Drawing life from my breast
Taking part of me within
My arms ache to hold
That tiny spark of life
But it was not to be
A hand of pain inflicted
A voice of anger heard
The agony of a life destroyed
No more to have this chance
To be a part of life
To share my heart
For me a life that is barren
Filled with sorrow
All I will ever know.
