TO A UNBORN CHILD

TO KNOW YOU IS TO LOVE YOU, BUT TO HAVE YOU WOULD BE HURTING YOU.

TO FEEL YOU IS A THRILL OF REAL LOVE, AND THE RESULTS OF EXPRESSING THAT LOVE.

WANTING YOU IS LIKE AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN, NOT WANTING YOU IS A SIN AGAINST GOD.

IF I DESTROY YOU I HAVE DESTROYED TWO, YOU AND ME.

TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO EXPLAIN WOULD BE, I LOVE YOU, I WANT YOU BUT I CAN’T HAVE YOU.

I COULDN’T GIVE YOU THE MOST IMPORTANT, A FATHER WHO WANTED OR LOVES YOU AS I DO.

I COULD GIVE YOU LOVE AND ME, BUT WHO WOULD GIVE A FATHER AND A HOME I NEED FOR YOU.

SO TO A UNBORN CHILD, WHO NEVER HAD A FATHER, FORGIVE ME IF YOU NEVER MEET YOUR MOTHER.

I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, HOW YOU CAME TO BE AND HOW I CHOSE TO LET YOU GO.
