The Carrier

The message is rather clear.

The mother cradles her child her arms
But it underwent a lot of pain and harm

In passing, we lay to rest all the babies
That might have survived, just maybe

But they missed out on a great life
At the same, the man didn't lose his wife

They will be happy together if they stay
Together and get down and strongly pray

For the moms, you are still always loved
Down here on Earth and up far above

Your babies are now safe and sound
In God's arms, wrapped tightly around

[Matthew Smith]

Whoa. Much shorter than your other works, but this is no less strong--perhaps more so.

A very sad seemin' piece.

It is a choice that some have to make and I would pray to never be in those shoes. Wonderfully written
