My Son Richard, Poem/Song

jesuschristschild · Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2005 7:08 pm Post subject: My Son Richard, Poem/Song

I love Richard, my son is my pride and joy
His cute little face, while he plays with his toys
He says 'I love you Daddy' with excitement in his voice
'Vroom Vroom' with his little trucks he makes noise
Only 3 years old, but he is my complete everything
How many little rascals do I treat like a king?
-------------------------------------------------------
Bright blue eyes, freckles, he's my little man
Twelve years old getting in trouble with his clan
I love him sooo much, thats why I ground him
Thinking how do I live with him, or without him?
He stresses me out, but I still love him infinite
Since the day I teared at his birth theres been no regret
---------------------------------------------------------
He's nineteen years old now and heading to college
I'm so proud of how well he used up my wallet
He took me into a separate room so none knew
Said "Dad I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you"
A tear from his eye he said "Just saying thanks
You gave me a lot even when little was in the banks"
----------------------------------------------------------
He's very handsome, now thirty five years old
Has a beautiful wife Jen that he treats like gold
He's a fire fighter and he's saved many lives
People crying with him saying "I owe you my life"
His Daughter Aaron is now such a lucky girl
So much smiles and love that brighten up her world
----------------------------------------------------------
So much memories in my heart are now recorded
Then I stopped daydreaming realizing he was aborted

this was inspired by an abortion that happened

so if anyone here is considering an abortion, please give it some thought

I LOVE YA ALL

GOD BLESS

i think u should be careful telling ppl to "giv abortion som thort"- of course its not going to be an easy decision is it, for any woman/girl to make! I think females should get more support in regard to abortion- sorry2totally sidetrack! x

Yes, abortion is a touchy subject anywhere you go and the arguments can go on for eternity (includes, religion, politics and guys seem to think women are on that list). My mother had an abortion. She already had two kids and we were poor, perhaps she was considering how she was going to keep the two she had alive. Rarely do I sometimes consider what that sibling might have been like and if he/she would be as messed up as the rest of my family. Would he/she have had to go through the abuse that me and my sister had to?

Of course there is also giving up a child for adoption. I'm not sure why some people can't seem to do this. Maybe they are afraid they won't be able to let go when the child is in front of their eyes. Anyone ever been in a situation like that? Guess you can't really know until you have been there...

adoption would involve carrying the child for 9 months, giving birth, THEN giving the child away, this seems really tough to me! I find abortion an interesting subject, as i'd say im pro-choice for women. Anyone else hav a view on this?
