A Poem for Women Who Don’t Want Children

I won’t preach about the rewards of motherhood.

I won’t say it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.

I won’t say it’s the best job I’ve ever had.

I won’t say you’ll regret not having a child.

I won’t say you’ll forget what life was like before.

I won’t say it makes life worth living.

What I will say

is my son died.

What I will say 

is I would still do it again.
