My only option is mom’s choice!<\/p>\n

And therefore it’s to you I give<\/p>\n

The right to speak, so I might live,<\/p>\n

Appeal to mom, plead with her, \u201cWhy<\/p>\n

Would you consider I should die?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cUnseen, and yet my heart beats strong,<\/p>\n

Is it my fault? Have I done wrong?<\/p>\n

I’m human, though I have no name,<\/p>\n

Is it for lack of love you blame<\/p>\n

My father, but that’s neither fair,<\/p>\n

I’m me! Not some imagined air.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes me! I’m in His image made<\/p>\n

Beyond a shadow nor a shade,<\/p>\n

My life’s as real to me, as you!<\/p>\n

Deep in your heart you know that’s true.<\/p>\n

Then for God’s love, hear my appeal<\/p>\n

I’m here, it’s me, Yes mom, I’m real.\u201d<\/p>\n
