You are loved

Rheanna Lang 1977 (Lansing)



Through the days full of hunger
The dark cold nights of homelessness
I watched paralyzed in fear
You are loved
The more you grew inside her
Was another day of uncertainty
Never knowing if you were okay
You are loved
There were no check ups
Vitamins or ultrasounds
Silent prayers were yours
You are loved
