Tucked up in comfort and warmth, peacefully I slept.

From all the harm and hurt of this world I was safely kept.

I wiggled my toes, stretched out my arms and faithfully practiced my smile.

I jumped in excitement at the sound of her voice then listened intently for a while.

Her heartbeat was my favorite sound, steady, strong and true.

With every beat I just knew she was saying “Baby, I love you!”

She’s washing the dishes now, I can tell by what I hear.

Next is laundry then walking the dog out by her favorite pier.

Her footsteps rock me to sleep, her sweet voice talking to the puppy.

I love my mama so much! Yes, I know I’m very lucky!

I’m warm, I’m fed, I’m loved. I’m the happiest baby in town!

She carries me with her everywhere she goes! My mama makes my world go ’round!

What does she look like, I wonder, she’s beautiful I know!

I can’t wait for her to see me, to watch me change and grow!

We’ll be best friends for always, she’ll teach me to walk on the shore.

She’ll hold my hand, kiss my head and give me snuggles when I ask for more!

I can’t wait to play on the beach with her, buckets and buckets of sand.

We’ll run in the water then pick up as many seashells as we can hold in our hands!

Then one day something was wrong… I could feel that mama was upset…

I heard her say something about a doctor and the other person mentioned regret…

I could feel her get in the car, we drove for quite a ways.

Then sounds unfamiliar and noises I didn’t like made me jump and shy away!

My heart beat faster as mama’s did, I felt fear flow from her veins to mine…

I kicked and wiggled but then sat still when I heard a man say “it’s time”…

I felt my mama lay down then something came into my room.

It hurt so bad I reeled in pain, nowhere could I run from this doom!

The legs I had kicked so freely were ripped from my little form…

My arms that I had stretched out so proudly were also cruelly torn…

“Mama, where are you, I cannot bear this pain, how can they do this to me?

I’m scared, Mama, help! They’re tearing me into pieces! Mama, can’t you see?”

The next cut took my life, my tiny body left wounded and lifeless…

No one heard my cries, no one felt my pain, no one cared that my life was priceless!

As my soul left my body and drifted up to heaven I glanced at the woman who I had longed to see,

“Mama, Mama, I loved you, I trusted you! Mama, Mama, that was ME!”

Years later…

“Mama, I see that word ‘regret’ has taken hold upon your heart.

Mama, I know you don’t talk about me much but I want you to have a new start!

I know you chose something over me because legally you have the ‘right to choose’

But out of all the millions on that earth I want you to know that I’d choose YOU!

Give your regret to Jesus, He told me that He still loves you a lot!

Just this morning I was helping Him build you a mansion in a special spot!

Come see it someday, Mama! God said His Word will show you the way!

Take care, Mama, I love you! Please, come see me someday…”

Psalm 139:13-18 KJV

[13] For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. [14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. [15] My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. [16] Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. [17] How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! [18] If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

For all the babies who have lost their lives in the way of abortion…
