"If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you'll be unhappy for the rest of your life." - Abraham Maslow


Every time I close my eyes I see him.

A little baby boy, wrapped in a diaper

With brown hair and blue eyes like his mother.

Every time there is a silence I hear him.

Crying for his momma,

And the dad that left before he was born.

Every Year I take the time to mourn him

For he never had the chance to live.

And every day I wish that I could meet him,

And hold his little body in my arms

Not a moment goes by that I do not think

About what might have happened

If he was given a chance at life.
