Notes About The Poem
Written on February 3, 2026
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love Did Grow
Her tears will quiet as time heals
Oh, dear Jesus, but how this feels!
Her conscious makes quiet appeals
But she must silence her soul
Forgiveness can’t make her whole
When she made this hard decision
Allowing them their incision
Felt like life’s vilest collision
Abortion is only a word
God’s voice, she had not heard
Feelings to face, heartache to bare
Recalling when she’d not a care
But now she lives on a prayer
What has become of her heart?
What’s become of the soft part?
Without telling anyone, she chose
She’s feeling like everyone knows
So cold inside – has her heart froze?
Wondering about the life…
One she ended, such grave strife!
Abortion - a choice, but why?
These feelings, oh, she wants to die
If only her heart would not cry!
A choice, yes – but you know
Inside her, babe’s blood did flow
Be strong, they said – could she know
Beneath the scalpel, life (love) did grow!
