Life is cruel at times Linda, this is one reason we must hold on and embrace the good light as much as possible. Being positive helps in the sad light. good rant of a poem. hugs G

Oh Linda, This deeply
touched my heart...
It seems that everytime
I listen to the news,
You hear of another helpless innocent baby
being victimized, by the
very hands of the ones
who were suppose to love
and nurture them...
I do not know how one
could live with theirself
after such a barbaric act.

There are many solutions
other than cold blood murder!!!

I appauld you for writing
this!!!!

this happens many times in NY... always in the headlines... very sad and tragic indeed!

my mother also wanted a child and was told it was scientifically impossible... she prayed to st.jude, had a baby and she died 3 days later... life is not fair but its how the cards are dealt, handed out by our previous lifetimes...

powerful write!

You capture the depths of feeling...the very depths.
You are one voice needed very badly.
I thank God for you.

Touching, soul-wrenching write. It makes my heart cry to know that this happens out of ignorance and selfishness. This isn't an old sweater that we get tired of and throw out - these are innocent lives, *humans* with hearts and souls that we cheat out of life. The cruelty of this behavior is unconscionable and unforgivable. One thing is for certain: those innocent souls are back in the arms of God, comforted by His love and grace. Bless their hearts. ~jh
