This poem was difficult to write even after nearly 30 years. The events of the day changed my mind and my life forever about women's rights and choices. Sometimes the pain you suffer is not your own, but that of someone else, someone who had no one else to turn to for help and support. Pain that had to keep secret for both of you...it was another time and another place...there were no other options.
Today
Today is THE day
The decision
MADE
Not a popular
CHOICE
But the only
ONE
She had
Available
Not again she
Thought
How did this
Happen
Precautions were
Faithfully used
Today is
the DAY
The DECISION
Made
I took her because
No one
Else could
No one
Else must
Know
Waiting...
The nurse comes...
It's time...
TODAY is...
the DAY
