Please Don't Throw Me Away

Please Don't Throw Me Away

Please do not throw me away based on what you think my life will be.

No one truly knows my worth except for me.

Please don't throw me away because of how I was conceived.

I'm a living being growing inside of you. Please don't be deceived. 

Life is fragile and who are you to determine it's worth.

Who are you to decide to throw me away instead of bringing me to birth?

Please don't throw me away because of the stats you hear on TV.

I'm not a stat. I'm a human being that God has predestined from eternity.

Please don't throw me away I'm more than a mush of cells.

I deserve a chance to live in the world and to dwell.

Please don't throw me away if they tell you I have a hormone missing.

God is the one that has formed me, it is His will you are resisting. 

I know the world pushes that it's your choice to have a baby or not.

But it seems my choice is what the world has simply forgot.

So please don't throw me away just because it seems too hard.

If you do, this there's an emptiness you will feel and we will be apart.

You see they don't tell you these things because they don't want you to know,

That I'm not just a glob of cells I was created by God a long time ago.

And just like you I have feelings regardless how it came to be.

I want to live I want a chance to fulfill my destiny.

So I beg you Mom even though you just found out I'm here.

Don't take that pill or do that procedure that will bring many tears.

Please don't throw me away. I love you mom I want a chance,

To live with you and have experiences and to dance.

But not just for me, I don't want you to have regrets for what you've done. 

If you throw me away you'll never know what I could have become.

I may be born “normal” or I may be born with an autistic disorder

But I'm still God's child, and perfectly designed in His perfect order. 

So please don't throw me away.

Please give me a chance today.

Please don't make me another stat in abortion’s lie.

Mom please let me live a life with you. Don't let me die.
