I ALWAYS WILL LOVE YOU (UNBORN)
I REMEMBER THE DAY WHEN I FIRST WAS CONCEIVED,
AND HOW HAPPY I WAS FOR THE LIFE I RECEIVED.
THE WARMTH THAT I FELT WHEN OUR HEARTS BEAT AS ONE,
I KNEW THEN I WOULD NEVER AGAIN BE ALONE.
MY DEAREST MOTHER, HOW MUCH YOU MUST CARE
THAT ALL THIS DISCOMFORT FOR ME YOU SHOULD BEAR.
I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU AS I AWAIT YOUR EMBRACE
AND SEE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE SMILE ON YOUR FACE.
IT IS HARD TO BE PATIENT AS I AWAIT MY BIRTH;
I LOVE YOU, DEAR MOTHER, FOR ALL THAT YOU’RE WORTH.
I HOPE, DEAREST MOTHER, THAT SOMEDAY I’LL BE
AS LOVING AND GIVING AS YOU HAVE BEEN TO ME.
MY DEAREST MOTHER, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND;
IN THE PLACE OF MY SAFETY I NOW FEEL A STRANGE HAND.
WHY, MY DEAR MOTHER, DO I FEEL SUCH GREAT PAIN?
DID YOU KNOW THAT MY BODY BY THIS HAND WOULD BE SLAIN?
I STILL LOVE YOU, DEAR MOTHER, AND THIS ACT I FORGIVE
FOR MY SOUL NOW IN HEAVEN WITH THE ANGELS SHALL LIVE.
I FORGIVE YOU, DEAR MOTHER, FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME
AND ASK GOD TO ABSOLVE YOU SO YOUR SMILE I MAY SEE.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
