A Fetus Is a Person


A fetus is a person, a life yet to be born,

A precious soul waiting for its turn,

To enter this world and take its place,

In the loving arms of its family and grace.

 

It grows and develops within the womb,

Protected and nurtured, it starts to bloom,

From a single cell to a tiny being,

A miracle of life, forever freeing.

 

Its heart beats strong, its tiny limbs move,

As it prepares for life, its journey to groove,

A precious gift, a bundle of joy,

A new life to love, to cherish and enjoy.

 

Some may say it's just a clump of cells,

But to the parents, it's much more than that,

A dream come true, a new chapter in life,

A chance to grow, to love, and to thrive.

 

To deny the fetus its right to live,

Is to deny its future, its potential to give,

To the world, to its family, to everyone around,

A life worth living, a gift so profound.

 

A fetus is a person, a life yet to be born,

A precious soul waiting for its turn,

To enter this world and make its mark,

A new beginning, a journey to embark.
