Do I have the right to mourn
a child who was never born?
Who perished by my own consent
from my body ripped and torn
Some may consider it a sin
ending life that could have been
but two other lives were saved
A situation none can win
And though it's been near thirty years
At times the memory still appears
I was the one who caused the loss
Am I entitled to the tears?
