BY MARY E. SASSO
You captured my heart from the moment I knew
My face always glowing, suspicions they grew
Your beautiful body bonded to mine
My womb is warm and I'm feeling fine
Your presence is true, timing is perfect
I'm growing outside while you grow under the surface
Swimming about, you're sewn by God's love
A crescendo of adoration for this gift from above
It struck me down, the pit in my stomach
A Season of Sorrow in our lives did it plummet
I curled up covered, my body felt tight
Puffy eyes and pain, praying you'll be all right
My eyes like a faucet through the blur I could see
The tiniest hand-- formed perfect in weeks
To touch, to taste . . . now nothing feels right
What a tumultuous twist in the timing of life
Why my thoughts take me here, I really can't ponder
Perhaps they're going where you want them to wander
Can't help but think of your millions of friends,
whose fates everyday forcefully put to an end
Please pray for Companies and Dr. Extortion,
Who claim to "help" us women -- instead they give us abortions
Please pray for the parents who struggle with pain
Help them love themselves and to get pregnant again
Dear Little One also, pray for those who have yet,
To make this decision that most will regret
The pain will be searing, the scars will run deep
Please pray I will help others, as they will help me
Is it you that are putting these thoughts in my head?
You're pushing me to move, to get up out of bed
Well I hear you -- I gotcha -- I'm moving -- Let's Go!
When I'm serving others you'll be with me, I know.
