"It Finally Happened to Me"
-Mark Mayhue
It finally happened to me! In just nine months I'll be
a little baby boy or girl, to live my life in the outside world.
I'm glad that I'm a chosen one, to have a chance at a life that's fun.
I'll make the best of every day. The beginning seems so far away.
I'll just wait patiently. For I know not when the time will be,
when I leave this comfort zone inside, to take life by the horns and hang on for the ride.
It finally happened to me! I can see my hands and feet.
They must have grown while I was asleep. I'll use my hands to grasp and my feet to leap.
My nose and ears are fully-grown. I'll use my nose to smell flowers and my ears to listen on the phone.
It finally happened to me! Now I know what sex I'll be.
I'm gonna be a baby boy. Now I'm filled with so much joy!
I'll play baseball and play in the mud. Then I'll give my mommy a great big hug.
I'll kiss her on the cheek and say, "I love you so much!". How I long for her loving, gentle touch.
It finally happened to me! My mommy said she doesn't want me to be.
She said, "Abort the baby, I don't want it any more!” But don't I have a say? What was I even conceived for?
Now all my dreams of a happy life are all destroyed because my mommy is no one's wife.
It's murder, I tell you, but no one cares! I'll never learn to ride a bike or climb a flight of stairs.
I know that now I'll be with God forever. But, I can never live the life He had planned for me...NEVER!

This is a very beautiful, yet sad poem. I was never really sure where I stood on the issue of abortion. This poem helped me to see that it's about more than just the pregnant mother. She is carrying a life inside of her that has just as much right to live as she does.
