"Women"

A Prayer for Baby

Never to have known you, but to have loved you,

Never to have held you, the way mothers do.

With you I bury my hopes and dreams

For an unknown child I'd never seen.

But also I bury the love in my heart,

And the sadness of knowing that we must part.

And I pray to God to do for you

All the things I would like to do.

And to keep my baby safe from harm

To laugh and frolic in springtime's arms.
