What do birthmarks mean?

Question: What do birthmarks mean!?

Unwanted child
flights of stairs
mother tumbled
to rid the fetus inside
her efforts failed
doomed infant arrived
babe's fate
strangely told
from ankle to waist
back of leg
brightly marked
port wine stain!.

As child ages
she walks alone
crooked spine
one leg longer
birth marked leg
an inch shorter
constant reminder
any dreams
she may fathom
out of reach
they'll remain
her fate foretold
said banner of
port wine stain!.

Imperfections
seen outward
none notice
heart broken
brunt of jokes
she laughs
at them all
secretly willing
be invisible please
this young girl
with birthmark
emblazoned
on leg
port wine stain!.

Are they simply a badge of courage!?

Maybe so!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like this poem a lot!. I have seen this story in some children and it's very sad indeed!. I try to be the champion of such kids that have serious physical trauma!. They are often very beautiful inside their heart in spite of difficulties they deal with!. I have a sweet and bright young friend like that who had brain cancer at age 2, stroke at age 4, and a brace and some leftover side affects!. Very bright but can't read now!. She is beautiful, outwardly and inwardly!. Many have taken the time to know her, some do not!. Kids can be cruel and so can't adults, sadly!. !. She's 20 now!.

My son had a strawberry on his stomach at birth!. It faded within the year!. I don't recall now what it's from, but there's an explanation that's escaped my memory!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's sad!. People ( especially ) kids can be so cruel!.Everyone needs to think,,That could be me!.
I know a baby who was born with a strawberry stain over both her eye lids!. The older she gets, it fades ever so slightly!. She looks like she has eye shadow on and it's really cute!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My girl has a giant birthmark on the side of her stomach--it fades into her hip!. I hope no one ever makes fun of her or I'll have to become REALLY evil!.

Birthmarks are where Goddess Diana touched the baby before she was born!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

we are all marked at birth!.!.!.seems you were marked to write thought provoking and very good poetry!. Mine is at the inner corner of my left eye!. Mostly faded with age, but as a child extended to my eyelid!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
