This was in the Tri-City Reporter. Apparently there was a poetry contest and this was the first place winner.
NEVER BORN
To think I had so much to give
But Mommy told me
I couldn't live
She said it wasn't anything
I did
She just wasn't ready to
raise a kid
But that's no fair on my behalf
I'll never cry, I'll never laugh
I won't feel joy
I won't feel pain
I'll never lose-
I'll never gain
I won't feel hate
I won't feel strife
I was denied the
Breath of Life
I can't love and I can't mourn

Hope she doesn't mind me sharing it.
