This One Is For Keeps....

[elvenavari]

My friend posted this message on his MySpace and I just had to find a way to keep it. It's about Abortion and even though I have mixed views on the subject I found this to be very moving.


Month One

Mommy
I am only 8 inches long
but I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
is my favorite lullaby.

Month Two

Mommy
today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
you could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.

Month Three

You know what Mommy
I'm a boy!!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too
and I cry with you even though
you can't hear me.

Month Four

Mommy
my hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
but I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
and stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.

Month Five

You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?

Month Six

I can hear that doctor again.
I don't like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it!
Mommy! HELP me!

Month Seven

Mommy
I am okay.
I am in Jesus's arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about abortion.
Why didn't you want me Mommy?

Every Abortion Is Just . . .

One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

Well it's official! I'm 19! Yay! For my b-day I got about 200 dollars from my family, a floppy disk drive for my laptop, a new pair of jeans, a pretty new shirt, a shirt that says "Are you a ninja or a pirate?", and another shirt that says "THINK it's not illegal yet.", The Sims2, The Sims Complete Collection, a coloring book, two movies, two posters. But the best present of all was that I got to have a small group of some of my friends there, that made the day worth wild.

Yeah, I know the feeling. Thirteen classes, this year. *Homework overdose* Four of them are AP science classes. I wonder if anyone's actually suffered from Death By Science Courses...
