I want to see her smile,

I want to hear her cry,

I want to see her sleep,

As I sing a lullaby.

I want to hear her laugh

As I gently tickle her,

But how can I do that

If I die becoming her mother?

Long have I waited

For that joyful day

But death awaits me on that bed

Where forever I shall lay

Baby clothes and baby stuff

Are all good to go,

Only one thing is left and that is

The greatest love I would show

A letter to my husband

Before I fully leave

And a letter to my child

The angel I have conceived,

Dear child, I never

Regretted having you,

Giving you the life I should’ve had

Is the only thing I could do

This death of mine

Was never your doing

I chose for you to live

Because you are my everything

Dear husband, don’t lose faith

Even though you lost your child’s mother

I just wish for you to be happy

And for you to guide our daughter

I love you both so much

My husband and my daughter

I’ll be watching you from above

And keep the both of you together

Then the tears started running through

After I wrote the letter

Convincing myself everyday

That this is for the better

Better choose this path

Then live a life of sin

If I choose abortion over death

I would lose my everything

So dear remember that your life

Is a precious gift from God

And a precious gift from me

Coming from everlasting love
