Baby Moses Law

Baby Moses Law

By Kazz Falcon

 

I thought about leaving my baby in the dumpster

I wasn’t ready to be a mother yet

I was pregnant from a one night stand

It was the biggest mistake of my life

I don’t want to put my life on hold

I was seventeen year old

I dropped out of school

I ran away from home

I was ashamed of the situation

I learned there was a law

Baby Moses Law was the break I needed

I can leave the baby at a hospital, police, fire or EMS station

No one will say a thing; no questions ask

We can leave the baby at those places – day or night

We won’t go to jail either

I heard horror stories about the dumpster babies

I can’t put my child through that

It wasn’t fair to him

No one may not find him at all

I didn’t want to be charge with attempted murder

The dumpster was the wrong thing to do

I got the courage

I dropped the baby off at the police station

I sadly kissed him goodbye

I will never see him ever again

I was glad he was in safe hands

The police will take good care of him

I gave the baby a chance to grow and live

Thank God for Baby Moses Law
