I wrote this about 11 years ago. It is a very emotional piece to me, but I thought I would share it with you all as my first submission

************************************************** **
Now I see I can never replace
the absence of your angelic face,
And now from above in your heavenly place,
Can you see? Can you know of my grief and disgrace?
Now I wish you were here with me
For my arms to hold and my eyes to see.
What did I do damnit, you were my baby?
Now I regret, can you ever forgive me?
A selfish decision for anyone.
Selfish me, and now you're gone.
I cannot undo what is done is done,
I wish I could know my unborn son.
And even now from where I sit
I wonder how you feel about it.
Would my life you like to omit?
Should I suffer in Hell's dark pit?
How sorry I am words cannot say.
Please, I beg, forgive me someday;
Then in my heart you always can stay,
And never again would I send you away.
