Pregnant by rape, :( Options

[LoveToMySilas]

I was surfing the web when I came across this article that had included a letter that a rape survivor had written. I didn't think too much of it at first, but when I read it and finished it, it really touched my heart and made me realize the horror of what really goes on with these kind of things. I just thought that I should let you guys read it as well.

The Gift
You came to me through pain,
You came to me through terror,
A tiny piece of heaven,
You dwelled beneath my heart.

You came to me when I needed you most,
You came to me and brought with you a hope,
A gift of wonder,
You dwell forever with in my heart.

You saved me, my precious,
You saved me, my strength,
A gift sometimes misunderstood by others,
You dwell forever with in my soul.

You're a gift of love,
You're a gift of joy,
A treasured child of spirit, a child of light,
I love you forever, my dear, tiny one.
