I woke up from sleep yesterday and found myself in this strange but beautiful place.
It was filled with flowers, butterflies, and unicorns.

I could hear the chirping of birds, the gushing sound of waterfalls, the beautiful scents coming from the flowers, while admiring nature, I was interrupted by the voices of little children.

I went in the direction of the voices and found these babies, beautiful and happy.
The smiles on my face were contagious that I could help but smile.

Then a little girl approached me.
"You are big"
She said with her eyes wide open
I walked towards her, bent down a little, and said
"And you're one little princess"
As I tickled her a bit.
The shock on her face left and turned into a broad grin

"But you are the first adult to be here"
She said
Now left with nothing else but curiosity, I asked
"Why is that?"

"All the kids here were aborted by our parents,
For some reason they didn't want us, maybe we were not good enough for them."
She said as tears shimmered in her eyes

I was speechless and heartbroken, immediately we heard a baby cry and all the kids cried along with her.

"Another has been rejected again"
She said with a sigh...
Each time a baby is being aborted, they all cry since it was a reminder that they were not wanted.
It was sad watching them cry each passing minute, for the mistakes we adults made.

"How can I make the pains go away, despite all the pains I still love mummy, and I hope she doesn't do this to my siblings"
She said with a smile on her lips and tears in her eyes.

I found out these children feel the pains too, although they couldn't say it hurts, they couldn't say how much they wanted to live, we never thought of them, when those knives broke every bone in their bodies, yet they still love us.

I had no answers for the little one who has a lot of "Why" to ask...
I buried my head in shame and cried...
She hugged me so tight, tapped my back, and said

"It's all right, just tell the adults we feel pains too,
And we love them"

Then I thought why to bring them soon if you don't want them soon.
Everyone's life matters!
I woke up with tears and I'm pleading, don't let the little ones suffer for our mistakes.
