TWO LIVES WITHOUT A CHOICE
A miracle happens, a baby cries
Tears of joy spring to our eyes
A brand new canvas with hope to be painted
Memories to be made but not yet acquainted
Loving arms and fairytales told
If only it lasted as people grow old
Too often a child's life is met with intrusion
Bitterness and arguments cause him confusion
Quickly gone is a painting of time without fear
Life is a nemesis filled with disappointment and tears
Hush my child please don't cry
Mommy and daddy promise to try
Sketches made hastily in black and white
No hope for the child born this night
Not every baby meets such a fate
Not every family is filled such hate
Two old souls with memories to bear
One dealt the aces, life was so fair
The other a victim of shattered dreams
Once hopeful pages torn to smithereens
Two little lives presented no choice
One was a burden the other rejoiced
Who presents fate to each baby born?
Who draws the destiny to life tattered and torn?
