The Unborn Child

January 23, 2014

Would you do it?

Kill a friend?

If you killed a child,

Would it end?

An elderly man

Wheelchair bound,

Would you knock him

To the ground?

What of a dog

Battered and beaten?

Would you kill him

Or be a beacon?

A beacon of light

Of hope and happiness,

And even life.

If you will take a stand

Against all else

To stay the hand

Of those bound for hell,

Be my savior!

Be my light!

Be MY beacon!

My beacon of life!
