Abortion


 Each child is a blessing

But with them we are messing

We love the pleasure of sex

But then despise what comes next

A baby is formed in the girl's tummy

A little one to some day call her mommy

Pregnancy now considered body distortion

So she turns towards the option of abortion

This little one so small & meek

Might not live past one week

The metal tools that are so sharp

Begin to tear the baby apart

Abortions are made up of blood and gore

Of this slaughter I can take no more

Whether it's early or whether it's late

Appointments for abortion should never be made

But we are not grateful for these gifts

Our spirits this baby's birth lifts

How marvelous is human life

But to these children of God we take a knife

They have no choice

We are their voice

How tragic to this privilege misuse

A precious miracle to lose

People with desires of selfishness

Choose to ignore God's distress

There is a light at the end of the tunnel for each tiny being

However, it seems only to God do these babies have meaning

Sex is temporary & will not last forever

This baby's life we should not sever

For the love between a mother and child

Is something that can't be measured in miles

A connection is made when the mom takes a look

This baby's life with abortion she almost took

When you feel afraid

Like maybe you've been raped

I promise you are not alone

And this problem you won't face on your own

God sees your hurt & pain

But promises sunshine after the rain

I believe no matter the circumstance abortion is wrong

Babies in this world God says belong
