Notes About The Poem

Written on January 28, 2025

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

God's Angels

Just a note to the reader: this poem is not biographical - as I don't have first hand experience, but it is intended to discourage anyone who might be considering an abortion



My heart stills, as it silently despairs
Remembering the chill
like a wintery night

My heart dreads the moment when light fades
As shadows reveal
The darkest fate

My heart stills, beneath the darkest thoughts
What was the motive for aborting
The innocent, the pure…

The sweet little infant, who God sent to you

What was the motive? What was the cause?
Why kill the baby – the baby who grows
Beneath your heart….

Such a tiny smile, such a gentle hope
But now she’s up in heaven
I wonder what she knows….

My heart stills, as it silently despairs
Remembering the chill
Oh, a wintery night

Miranda Hawley January 28, 2025 at 6:51 PM This poem possibly tells me you had an abortion. Guess what God is a forgiving God of love. That image was excellent. Maybe this poem can serve as a message to other young people. Regina Mcintosh January 28, 2025 at 11:29 PM NO! I absolutely DID NOT have an abortion. That is the worst thing I could ever imagine and I had no idea that someone might get that from this poem. It was meant to discourage abortion, not as some sort of admission of such an awful thing. I'm happy to say I never had an abortion and I hope no one else gets that from this poem.!!! God bless you. Love, Gina

Oliver Mckeithan January 28, 2025 at 3:42 AM Powerful poem. Sad. At least she is God's arms. Abortion affects each individual impacted by it. It is sad that the democrats just voted to prevent a measure that would have required doctors to provide care for infants born alive.
