Mama Do You Hear Me? - Poem

Mama do you hear me?

Mama do you hear me?

They called me a little egg
No arms, face or legs

A little heart beating 24/7

A little soul, happy in oblivion

I loved my Mama's voice

I would hear her

And my heart would leap with joy

I felt comforted within her warm walls
Felt safe secure as I never would fall

Then one sad cold day
To my dismay

I heard an evil stranger's voice
He spoke about making a right choice...

Something did not feel right

Then suddenly, something

Hard and sharp ripped me like a knife

I cried Mama, "Help me, set me free!"

My Mama did not seem to hear me

That monster attacked me with sadistic glee

I felt so helpless, Mama seemed far away
My world turned dark and gray
And then I faded away

Moments later

A beautiful angel came and carried me up

Up beyond and I was taken to My Creator

I got to learn the horrific truth
And my soul in sorrow did droop

For I learned my Mama wanted me to die

I heard this and started to cry 

My loving Creator let me weep
And said, "I know your pain is deep
But in Heaven, rewards you will reap

Then He washed away my tears

And healed my pain and fears
He gave me a new body
And soon I was strong and sturdy

In time, I could forgive my Mama

Because you see

Right now, she still does not understand

She does not know

May she wake up
And in understanding grow

Before to eternity she goes..

I still ask her now
Mama, do you hear me?

If you do

Help others to go free...
May they never
End up like me...
Because everyone deserves
A chance to be...
