The Gift

The Gift
Her body says she is ready.
her heart says there is hope to be a mother. just not now.
Her mind knows the best thing for this child isn't her life now.
Her soul tells her that abortion isn't an option.
Her friends say she should raise the child.
Her boyfriend says he isn't ready. not now.
Her parents tell her adoption is the best.
They are a loving couple. trying for years
sometimes decades to conceive.
No one Knows why god chooses some to birth
and others not too, so they turn to adoption,
Hoping against hope that one mother
not ready will have the heart to allow them
to raise her child, in her place.
Whether it's God's divine plan or just fate
they cross paths and a new life is brought into
this un-knowing world.
His life is one of love and tenderness
learning and growing as a innocent child is
meant to be, hers is one of wonder
tears and pain, no regrets though.
For when other mom's chose to kill their children
she chose to let him live.
the best gift of all.
life, Love, and happiness.
the gift.
