This is a poem through the eyes of a woman who had an abortion and now realizes what she has done – she had murdered her baby. She also realizes that although she sincerely regrets her decision and would do anything to go back and change what she has done, nothing can bring her baby back.
Useless Apology I’m sorry I robbed you of your life Before it had really begun, I’m sorry you never got the chance To laugh and smile and love and dream, I’m sorry you never got to choose what you wanted to be, I’m sorry I placed my convenience over your life, I’m sorry I never gave you the chance to grow up And experience all of life’s joys and tears, I’m sorry I never gave you the chance to be born. I’m sorry that you had to pay the ultimate price For my selfishness, my blindness, my mistake, I know that no matter how sincere an apology, It will never give you back what I stole, And that saying I would do anything to have you here with me Will never allow me to see your face. I know that simple words will never be enough, And can never express my guilt and grief, But an apology is all I have to offer.
