Opinions on this please, i wrote it about a friend who had a difficult decision to make?

The room started to spin

it just couldnt be true

he was her little boy

his room painted blue

she had known he was a boy

though he wasnt yet here

and down her cheek

rolled a single tear

"Downs Syndrome", they said

now make your choice,

keep or get rid

echoed the doctors voice

a thousand thoughts

rushed through head

as she sat there crying

on the hospital bed.

She named the boy Liam

after giving birth

to his lifeless body

and, although it hurt

she knew that for her

it was the right thing to do

and that some time soon

she would be a mother

and she would tell her kids

about their elder brother

and although she feels regret everyday

at the time there was no other way

she thinks about Liam all the time

and puts fresh flowers on his grave

to some people what she did was wrong

and to others she was brave



(I think she was brave,)

NO comment. It was horrible to read. You did so well and I feel all sad. I will have to try again later.



As a poem it was wonderful. Bloody hell lady. I'll look at it later



The room started to spin - weak line next one is a stronger.

"Downs Syndrome", they said

a thousand thoughts - this line and the next unnecessary with such a powerful poem let go the rhyme

rushed through HER? head

as she sat there crying

on the hospital bed.

Reply:All people have their own reasons for the decisions that they make, but I have my own story to tell.



On June 16, 2000, a little boy was born to a family with three daughters of their own. The mom and dad had already been given heart stopping news. Their baby that was expected had hyperplasticleftheart(this is not a made-up condition). The left side of his heart had stopped growing and only the right side worked. He would die. There was however a shining stip of hope when a neighbor down the street told the mom about a hospital called Children's Hospital of Philidelphia with specialist doctor that could give the unborn baby a heart operation to save his life. The mom went there leaving the three little girls with their grandmother. Recently before they left, the grandfather had died of pancreatic cancer. A slow and painful death for family members as well, there is no cure. The dad stayed in the Ronald McDonald house after the baby boy was born. He was named Hunter and five days later, whe he no longer could survive, he was taken by Dr. Spray and operated on. The family held their breath. And the boy survived. Throughout his lifetime Hunter had struggles that noone can imagine. He could not go to school because his imune system was EXTREMELY weak and he could die from a simple illness. He had trouble making friends becasue he was rather thin and short for his age because his heart was working too hard to keep him alive than to work on growing. He was given two medicines two times a day.



His lifeline.



Then, he had to have two other operations. One time the three little girls were sent to various people. A neighbor or two, a babysitter during the day, the grandmother at night, and Hunter's godparent's house as well. They were worried sick on the third operation when tehy were taken to the Ronald McDonald house since it was taking unusually long (3 months and 7 days to be precise). The little boy survived.



Hunter is now seven and acts like anyother boy. He cannot participate in any sports besides golf and swimming because of the danger of a ball hitting him in the chest and killing him. He draws, reads, and writes the most creative and fantastic stories. He is homeschooled for kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and through the rest of his life. One day he will need a heart transplant and his family awaits that faitful day. The mom had another baby boy and Hunter teaches little Jacob(now 2) everything he knows. Hunter is a puzzle mister and an amazingly UNspoiled boy. He is grateful for little things in his life and the mom never regret her decision.



A guardian angels was by his hospital bed when he was gasping for breath, and God watches over his daily. Hunter is a miracle child and he lives a very HAPPY life. He is not miserable and hated by people!





Please, belive me that your friend had her own resons for making the decision she made and that was a beautiful poem : - (, though it made me cry. But also know that if you plan to show it to too many people, they will get angry.



The mom after all doesn't know if Hunter is going to do amazing things in his life, and wheter he does or doesn't he is another life in this world.



There was no excuse for your friend to do what she did. : - I . I shan't even TELL you how many people I know would take that child into adoption in a heartbeat. Her decision was as bad as abortion and their is NO excuse by heavens for that. That child, Liam, was a life and a baby and never had the chance to try.



If you and your friend disagree, think about that story, and think of what God would have thought she should have done.
