LIFE SUNDAY - JANUARY 22, 2012

The battle for life rages on in America. Every follower of the Author of Life, Jesus Christ, needs to be in this battle. Below you will find a beautiful poem MOMMY PLEASE, by my granddaughter, Olivia Barnhart, written when she was 15 years of age.  Also, included below is an article about a baby born at 24 weeks who was released from the hospital recently. It should give us cause for pause as we think of how many little lives are killed through abortion at that age--some sooner, some later!  Let us pray and labor that this killing of our precious unborn will be halted!

MOMMY PLEASE
By Olivia Barnhart

You can’t see me

Yet I depend on you with my life.
I can’t live on my own,

Not viable they say
I need you

Please, Mommy, please

I am yours.

Though given as a gift,

I'm received as punishment,

Inconvenience.

I was made priceless

You pay to get rid of me.

Why don't you love me?

Please, Mommy, please

Love me.

Your words can tear me apart,

Stop my little heart.

Please Mommy, please

Is this really what's best for us?

Unwanted you call me,

Not a person yet

A mistake to be corrected,

Not a life to be protected

Please, Mommy, please

Don't see me that way.

My little body

Is growing inside of you

Quickening, maybe not yet

But still a person

Whose life is in your hands

Please, Mommy, please

Have mercy on me.

I heard you crying

I know this is hard

But please, Mommy, please

Wait for my first cry

Then we can cry together.
