'Missing you already' - A poem by a father who grieves the loss of his baby to abortion

    "I wrote the following from my personal experience. I think it captures all that I felt back then, and still feel today".

    Missing You Already ©

    We never got to see,
    Your smile break the morning sleep or
    the sound of your cry
    Announcing your arrival.

    The sounds of little feet
    when you’d learn to walk,
    and the gargle of commentary
    that you’d consider to be talk.

    The cry for help when you
    first hurt yourself,
    and your tears, as we’d leave
    you at the school gate.

    The pains that you’d endure
    as your heart gets broken,
    the pride we’d feel
    when you’d graduate.

    The happiness of seeing
    your wedding day,
    And the birth of your first child.

    We never got to see you
    for long at all.
    Yet, the breaking of our
    Hearts is so intense.

    The tears we cry
    fall not from memories of past,
    But from thoughts of
    what could have been.

    But what hurts the most,
    is that we never had
    the chance, just to say
    We love you.

    For anyone wishing to learn about the impact of abortion on men, the Real Choices Australia conference will be held in Melbourne in May 2012. Click here for more information
