Two Poems from our Birthday Poetry Collection
 
 
Alone
   
Author: Kristine Smith
   
Poem:
Alone
   
  No on really noticed her at first
She was sitting motionless looking down at her feet
The sort of girl you see and then look away
Without thinking twice about it
A few people did peer at her though as they passed by
And had thoughts to themselves
One shook his head gravely
And walked on not knowing her situation
She is a statistic to him and many others
Viewed with derision and disgust
Unable to understand what is happening
To our misled youth and loved ones
She is someone’s daughter, sister, and niece
The list goes on and on
But she is sharply judged more by family and relatives
Than any stranger passing in the street
Our young friend is waiting for a bus
To take her to a clinic on the other side of town
So she can have the abortion
That she believes she must have to save herself
Barely fourteen, she has a sweetheart from school
Her parents had forbid her to see
But love felt so right and rebellion so strong
That they made that huge mistake
The parents became angry at them both for disobeying
And the feuding families were nothing short of fierce
Every day cutting remarks slapped her face
And the insults were too much to bear
Soon she began doubting her self worth
Her self image was shattered to pieces
And she began to think of ways to escape the pain of rejection
This is where most of us start blaming the parents
Or saying laws and schools are responsible
For our children having children
Or in this case not
But what really drives a young girl to have an abortion?
Fear, peer pressure, ignorance?
No one really knows
Perhaps if someone had taken the time
To put their arms around our young friend
And told her she is still loved
And that her precious cargo is an amazing miracle
That millions of couples around the world
Wish for every day and reach out to with open arms
Her little girl would still be here

Happy birthday mother
   
Author: Kimberly Kellett
   
Poem: Happy birthday mother
   

As time slips past
And years come and go
In times of happiness
Or times of sorrow

Through thick and thin
You have stood by my side
Were there to encourage me
And held me when I cried

I was given unconditional love
And now I finally see
Even though I made bad mistakes
You unfailingly believed in me

It is important that you understand
You are not just my mother
You are a very special lady
A friend like no other

So here is a birthday wish
And I hope your dreams come true
And I want you to know I am thankful
Because I get my best qualities from you!
