My Unborn Child

by Marigrace Iodice

MY UNBORN CHILD

I never got to see your face Or even give you a name

But in my heart, you hold a special place

And for that, I would never be the same

I’ll never hear you laugh or cry

Or hold you in my arms tenderly

I’ll never know the color of your eyes

But I will still love you endlessly

I never got to hold your hand

I never got to sing you a lullaby

I will never come to understand

Why murderers run free and innocent souls die

I’ll always have my suspicions

Why God took you from me

All these unanswered questions

That would burn inside of me

Forever saddened upon this Earth

Crying for you, my unborn child

Never blessed by your birth.

But I’ll be here, unable to smile

You are my shining light in heaven

For one of God’s angels to love Until I get my wings to descend

She’ll take care of you, for me, in Heaven above

You’ll be my Guiding Light to Heaven’s Gate

Where I’ll get to see your Angelic Smile

And even if I never got to see your face

I’ll know in an instant that you are my unborn child!
