A Choice - Felecia Buck

Through pain brings life.
With the sound of a baby’s cry
Laughter bubbles forth.
Pure joy is here in a small, fragile form.

Ten and ten makes twenty,
Still you count them again.
Hands and toes so small
They just must be kissed.

Innocent eyes staring up
Completely dependent on you.
So many questions had crossed your mind before,
But now there is only one.

How could I have wondered?
Wondered if this was the right choice.
With a life in arm,
Tears start to fall.

And you know you chose life and love.
