[hometext] => I agonized over whether to submit this poem because it relates to a very controversial issue. I do not want to offend anyone, and I do respect others who have different beliefs. I hope you understand. I just needed to express my view. Please comment
[bodytext] => Within the womb where a living fetus grows Is the source of life where creation is bestowed Protected from the world with all its torment Incased in a soothing and safe environment Safe from harmful outside forces Completely dependent upon inner resources It is ultimately the mother you see Who has control over the baby's destiny Although this precious gift of life is God given It is still up to the mother as to liven She determines whether the infant lives or dies All based on a presumption that it is her right to decide God, how far have we drifted away From the sanctity of life that you portrayed Where do we get the right to decide Whether this life within lives or dies How can we be so self-righteous as to proclaim It is a person's right to choose we claim Forsaking God's commandment plain and clear Resorting to legal arguments and fear May God's love and gift of life we all enjoy Become the awareness we employ We may surrender to His omnipotence Truly devote our lives to protecting the innocent [comments] => 7 [counter] => 179 [topic] => 62 [informant] => Willofree [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
