I was a Choice
Marijo Phelps
Lifting sunlit eyes
Many faceted green
You wrought
When I was but
Womb bound
You brought
All Your pre-thought
Me
To be
Together found
Sperm and ova united
Breath of life
You breathed
Holy Spirit ordained
Pre-held little one
Joyfully known
By the hosts
Of heaven
Before my mother
Had a clue
Cherished of God
Before my mother
Shed tears
Earthly sorrow
Uncontrolled
She made her choice
I was given life
Time
To grow
And glow and know
What You planned
For two celled
Me
Plans in time
And then Eternity
She's with You now
And I thank her still
Her difficult choice
My life, my breath
As she exercised her will.
