Oh unborn child

Seated deep within thy mother’s womb

Nourished, protected, safe and secure

What do you see?

As you roll and jump

In your dark amniotic chamber,

Waiting your day of freedom,

What do you hear?

Oh unborn child

Created out of love and passion

So tender, frail and untouched

Why do you cry?

As you kick and bang

Against your prison walls

Longing to get out of that crouch.

What do you hear? 

Oh unborn child

Symbol of life’s continuity on earth

So delicate, yet vibrant and alive

What do you feel?

As your mother awaits

The day of your birth

Hers to hold, cuddle, love and cherish

What do you see?

Oh unborn child

If only you could tell us

What lies hidden deep within

Your growing mind and body

Then the world would learn and listen.

Oh unborn child

Created out of love and passion

Waiting to challenge the world

Please answer me.
