ABORTION

By Sharon Tsisika

To my unborn child they want me extinguished
Hope is what I give you
My desire for you to survive
And one day see you father
Can not allow me terminate you
Though under pressure to abort you
Dear beloved child
Trust me when I say I am not a murderer.
I am strong and I will take care of you
My protection I promise you
Grow fully and I will bring you to this world
From the dark to light I shall bring you
In this world we shall adventure together
Watching you grow will be the happiest moments
I shall give the best I can
Later on,
I shall give you a brother or maybe a sister
With whom we will make the best family
I will not terminate you
I am eagerly waiting for your arrival
