Letter To Unwanted Newborn Daughter

Letter to unwanted newborn daughter

baby-girl

You were born against my will

I would have been rid of you if I could

Now you are born

My child

My lovely one

The greatest blessing

I have ever known

 

Your birth mended a wounded bird

Pieced together a fragmented girl

I have a heart now

That loves instead of hates

 

I smile now

Where once I scowled and threatened

A bond I seek with you little one

Strong with ties of love unbroken

 

And yet guilt assails me

Your eyes so wise for one so young

Don’t judge me I beg of you

I knew not what I was thinking

 

My angel child listens carefully

Learn early to let go of hate

Don’t carry it like a trophy you’ve win

 

Your father I see in your face

Don’t like me

Like him

Be afraid to lov
