Cries of a Child by Tawanda Ray

"How good I feel so cozy and warm
Close to my Mommy's heart.
Ten weeks of gestation has given
My life such a wonderful start.

"It's great just floating so freely and light
In my Mommy's safe little place.
I'm learning now to suck my thumb
And do funny things with my face.

"I can frown, squint and pucker my brow
I am such a sight to see.
So many miracles have now taken place
To make such a wonderful me.

"Yes, Mommie and Daddy must really be proud
For the clever thing they have done.
I will surely make them happy with glee
On the day that I shall be born.

"At week 13, I can do many things
My movements are graceful and poised.
I'm beginning to favor my Mom and my Dad
And now I can tell I'm a boy.

"At four months of life, I'm a gymnist for sure
My somersaults are very fine.
My Mommie really knows I am here
For I'm tumbling now much of the time.

"At six months my hair is beginning to grow
A blond I think I will be.
Now I can hear my mommy's sweet voice
When she sings lullabys to me.

My eyes are now open, I can see all around
What a glorious creation am I.
I can hardly wait to enter the world
And begin my most wonderful life.

"But wait, something is terribly wrong!
I can't imagine what it can be.
Something's invading my safe little place
And it's making its way toward me.

"It's hurting me, I just don't understand
Oh mommy, the pain is so bad.
What's happening, I cannot comprehend,
It's destroying the hope that I had.

Great terror wrenches the little heart
As the intruder tears at his limbs.
The pain is indescribably bad
As his tiny life grows dim.

He tries to escape but there's no where to go
There is undefineable heat
His whole little body is burning with fire
His agony is now complete.

All hope is lost, his safe little place
Is now so empty and sad.
Destroyed is the precious little boy's life
And all the hope that he had.

The spirit of life is a precious gift
Only God our Father can give.
In His own image we are created in love
And blessed with our lives to live.

So now hear these little cries from beyond
And speak out against this strife.
Stand up for God, for kindness and love,
Stand up for hope and for life.

Gee - August 12th, 2005 9:16 PM

what a bitch! I bet she aborted because her "boyfriend" wasn't ready!


Chole - August 14th, 2005 12:50 AM

OMG that is so sad, i cried. I cannot even imagine, it really does make you think. I dont believe in abortion, although I dont like it, I know that I cant make everyone think like me. I want to thank you for shareing this story it is so sad.


Amanda - August 14th, 2005 7:21 AM

that made me cry, its either about abortion or miscarriage.


Tawanda Ray - September 11th, 2005 6:15 AM

Found this site while googling my name. :)

I wrote the poem after reading a pamphlet that was handed out from a anti-abortion booth at a local fair. The pamphlet explained the stages of growth of a baby during gestation. I thought it was awesome and was sickened at how the little ones are simply disregarded just because they are still inside the mother.

One thing that really gets to me is that some believe the little ones feel no pain. How can that be? They have nerves, brains etc.

Take the little child out and prick it with a pin and it cries. Yet, we're to believe that someone can scald or tear it apart and it feels nothing. Very sad to do another human being this way.



FYI - September 11th, 2005 6:40 AM

Evidence shows that brain structures involved in feeling pain begin forming earlier but likely do not function until around the seventh month, when fetuses are about 28 weeks old.

very sad - September 11th, 2005 6:42 AM

that people write these pieces designed to scare, coerce, and misinform.


abortion is murder!fact! - September 11th, 2005 6:57 AM

about time people saw abortion for what it really is!! how can people say this is to scare and misinform? its the truth.......!


(sigh) look fanatic - September 11th, 2005 7:19 AM

I was commenting on the pain aspect. now, back away from the gas soaked crossand put that lighter down!


Margaret T. - September 11th, 2005 11:35 AM

A baby that is born prematurely can sure enough feel pain in their incubator, so what would make you think they don't feel it in the womb? I think that people want to make excuses to take the burden of abortion off of themselves. Abortion is murder, and that is the fact. This is not a religious issue for me, its a human rights issue. A lot of women use abortion as their form of birth control and it has to stop. People just don't want to face the fact that they are commiting murder.


pro choice - September 11th, 2005 2:41 PM

Not that I agree with abortion as birth control, but if they can afford it, or want to do it there is no law stopping them from doing it. Did you read the post that said the fetus doesn't begin to feel pain until about 28 weeks? Most abortions are carried out well before this time.


matty - September 11th, 2005 4:06 PM

omg!! i tottaly agree. i'm crying right now. as you can see you are going to get of of bull sh** on this post. it's awful to to think some of these don't even belive this. well it really does happen!!!!


Angelina - September 11th, 2005 7:00 PM

Aww thats a sad poem. I have a comment about the fetus feeling pain suject though. How would anyone know what hurts a fetus or not?For one i bet no one can remember the days in the womb and for two, scientist cant prove it doesnt hurt them if they cant feel what they feel.


doesn't matter - September 11th, 2005 8:59 PM

A lot of girls come to this site for advice on abortion, i don't think this is the sort of thing they want to read, it will only add to the torment they feel making such a difficult decision. Also, a fetus doesn't feel pain until about about the 36th week of pregnancy as recent studies have been shown.
