Love Poem: A Baby Girl

A Baby Girl

A life starts out with love from her mother,
being held and fed by no other.
What if this loving mother cannot give this to her,
this tiny baby now needs to survive as she makes a stir.
A loving mother needs to make decisions that will cut like a knife,
these decisions will effect her and her baby's life.
She cannot care for her baby and must take control,
fear overcomes her fragile body and soul.
As her hand shakes,
she must sign the papers before her heart breaks.
Her loving baby girl in a pretty pink blanket all wrapped,
is now being handed over to strangers like she was kidnapped.
She wonders if the truth will ever be known,
or will this new family claim her as their own.
What price can one put on a baby that came from above,
what price can one put on selfless love?
