NEVER LET GO

What else could you do?
Escorts and bubble zones
Blinding mothers from the truth.
Distractions surround your every move
while in the silence of the womb
your beautiful son or daughter coos.

Their lives have meaning and they yearn
to experience the life you have given them.
They have no guilt and no shame
but for some reason they are to blame
for being the inconvenience that brings you here today.

If there is but one thing I can say
to show you there is another way to live
in less than 9 months you will believe
that every pain and uncomfortable night’s sleep
was worth the decision it took to keep
the gaze of your little one,
which, once wrapped in your arms

will never let go of your heart

-Elizabeth Ciccocioppo
