Little Child (Song Lyrics)

(This is a song I wrote when I was active in the pro-life movement.  I am now pro-choice, but I still feel strongly these words that I wrote.  Pro-choice does not mean anti-life anymore than pro-life means anti-choice.  I believe every life is precious.  But I believe the ulimate decision to abort or not belongs to the woman....not the government. I still hate abortion, though...as much as I ever did.  And my ultimate wish is that women would make the right choices before pregancy occurs. )

Little child

in mother's womb

cries out for love

wants not a tomb;

Little child

helplessly small,

longs so for life,

curled up in a ball.

Little child

Life ends to soon

for one so small

who wants to bloom;

Little child

rejected by one,

one who should love you;

Soon it will be done.

Darling baby,

is there pain

as life drains from your body?

Helpless child,

never a chance

to love, to laugh, to grow.

Innocent child,

stunned by cruel fate

when open arms

should have held you;

Dying child

in mother's womb,

a mother's love

you will never know;

A mother's love

you will never know.
