I Didn’t Know

 I didn’t know that I held an opinion that would alter my life.

 I didn’t know that I was pro-choice.

 I didn’t know until I chose abortion that I would one day suffer for that choice.

 I didn’t know that the blob was really my baby.

 I didn’t know that I would hurt to the depths of my soul.

 I didn’t know there were alternatives.

 I didn’t know that I didn’t have to make that deadly choice.

 I didn’t know that I could confess and be forgiven.

 I didn’t know that God is a compassionate and merciful God.

 I didn’t know that I could be joyful one day.

 I didn’t know.
