Child, do you know the beginning of your life?
Your father did a crime, forced impregnation,
That hateful violence caused nothing but strife;
In my eyes he earns eternal damnation.
And yet, when you were born, I saw no evil,
Simply the pure blue eyes of a newborn child,
You seem to me like innocence's retrieval;
In those sweet pictures you happily smiled.
True, you were given away in adoption,
But it was for the best, care she could not give,
A family for you was the best option;
Realize she gave you a better life to live.
If you ever ask, "Does my mother love me?"
I will say, "For you, her love will always be."

Description:
Done in the Shakespearean style of sonnets, I wrote this sonnet for a very special reason (other than it was assigned to me in English). I chose to write this for my friend's baby, who was born from a rape and given up for adoption. It's a reflection on what I felt, and what I found when I saw him.
