It was a surprise to discover… br You took a breath to recover. br Yes, we were expecting an addition. br There seemed to be some opposition. br br This is something we can’t afford. br This is a big burden, not a reward. br It will be difficult with smaller portions. br I am asking, will you consider abortion? br br As a loving mother, this could not be my choice. br For this life within me, I gave a strong voice. br We will manage somehow. I know it in my heart. br This child is a part of me; it shall not depart. br br The child was born; she was a beautiful baby girl. br She makes me proud; she has the luster of a pearl. br Her dad bestows recognition… when he’s around. br He gave her away the day she wore a wedding gown.
