The Editor,

The North Renfrew Times

Deep River, Ontario

 
Sir,

                                        Unborn Child
 
In recent weeks, due to deliberations before the Supreme Court of Canada, the subject of the childbirth and abortion has once again come to the top of agenda for Ontario/Canada discussions.  
Though currently I am coming to Deep River on a transfer and in the midst of the move, I have composed the following attached poem titled “Cry of Unborn Child” which tries to capture the feelings from the perspective of the new life conceived on a mother’s womb. 
Please accept my apologies for not having it typed as I have not settled here and my things are in boxes between the move. 
If you find it appropriate, please publish it in the Renfrew Times under my “by line” name McShah. 
                                                                                    P. Shah

 
P.S.   In future, I intend to contribute articles on current events from the perspective of other cultures especially Jain/Hindu –Indian Subcontinent cultures. I request your support and encouragement, if that is in line with your objectives. 
                                                                                    P. Shah

 
 CRY OF UNBORN CHILD  - A Poem

 
Though unborn, mom , your child

I have gift of love, my own

Your love only I ask in return

 
Tough times we can weather together

I give reason for you to hang in

You remain my reason to come to life

 
Innocent me, God’s gift to you

Let us not look to who fathered me

Though unborn, mom, your child

 
Canada needs me and others unborn

Lest you will be without love in old age

Tough times we can weather together

 
My mom powerful to give life

My mom abort will not my life

Innocent me. God’s gift to you

 
Aborted me, no use except in cosmetics

Alive, I provide support all around

Canada needs me and others unborn

My mom, I need you

My mom, you need me

My mom powerful to give life.
