Knees pulled to her chest

A destitute mother weeps

For her unborn child

      Thank you. Yes it is so very sad, but unfortunately at time true.

      Thank you so much. I kind of like this picture as a piece of art as well although I hadn’t seen it before.

    Curious, did you write the poem from the picture or find the picture afterward?

      Actually, I found the picture afterwards. When I use pictures, I generally write the poems first and then add a picture that seems to fit the words.
