I Am Her Mother
By Joan Vander Male
Do not judge me for what I have done
For you have not walked in my shoes
She was not your daughter
You did not lov her and long for her
As I did and do and always will
You did not feel her and plan for her
And know her and promise her that
You would always take care of her
As I did
She was my daughter
You did not hear the doctors say
That she would be sick
That she already was sick
And that she would be sick until
The day she died
You did not pray to God that the
Second ultrasound would confirm
Your hopes that she would be healthy
You did not see the tear
In the doctor's eyes when he
Confirmed the diagnosis
You did not pray to God for
Her to never have to suffer
For him to take her to Heaven
Where there is no pain
You did not feel her pain
I did
I am her mother
When you simply said to me
That I don't have the right
To take her life
I know you did not feel my struggle
When you said to me
That I have to take her life
For her to be happy
I know you did not feel my struggle
I do not know what God wanted for her
I do not have His wisdom
And neither do you
I do know that He love me
I felt His love though the people He gave me
I know that God did feel my struggle
All I ask from you now
Is that you pray for my daughter
And do not judge me for what I have done
For you have not walked in my shoes
I am her mother.
It wasn't written by me, but it could have been.
