A Baby's Prayer
A BABY'S PRAYER
I'm here with my mommy, so fragile and small,
My mom doesn't know that I'm with her at all.
It's only been days since the time of conception,
The boy with my mommy was full of deception.
I pray that my mommy will keep me alive.
I pray that my mommy will let me survive,
I love you, Dear Mommy, you made a mistake,
But don't end my life, and my love --- don't forsake.
I need you, Dear Mommy, oh please, can't you see,
Oh Jesus, please help her, don't let her hurt me.
The long months ahead will be so hard, I know,
With questions and staring as you start to show.
Oh, thank you, Dear Mommy, for making your choice,
I heard you, Dear Mommy -- I heard your sweet voice.
I love you, Dear Mommy -- I know you are right,
My mommy will keep me - I'm filled with delight!
Her choice was not easy, the road ahead - long,
I thank you, Dear Jesus, for making her strong.
Please rest now, Sweet Mommy, you know you've done right,
Dear Jesus, please keep mommy safe through the night.
As days and weeks pass and her due date has come,
I thank you, Sweet Jesus, for my precious mom.

The tiny feet pictured above are the actual size of a 10-week old fetus or baby, yet to be born. At this point in a pregnancy, the baby's stomach, liver, kidneys and brain are functioning and finger-prints have formed and this child has all his little finger and toes. This tiny infant just needs nourishment and time to become a healthy newborn, yet almost 800,000 abortions are done each year in America after this point in pregnancy.
If you are pregnant and alone and just don't know what to do; if you are thinking about having an abortion - PLEASE think about what I've written here. The little life you now carry is not just a "fetus" (as some would have you believe), but this is a tiny human being. Every minute of every day throughout your pregnancy, this little, helpless child depends on you to provide all his/her needs. If you need help or counselling regarding your pregnancy, won't you please e-mail me and I will do everything I can to put you in touch with someone who will help you through this difficult time. Please, please don't make your baby pay with his tiny life. There are many of us who care about you and your baby.
