Notes About The Poem

My own mother, who was a wonderful loving, caring mother, suffered when her first marriage ended
in divorce.  Had she had more time knowing my father, she would not have had adverse feelings about having me but, it was the Lord’s timing when I was to be born.

The Bible says by King David, “In sin did my mother conceive me”.  We don’t understand why some babies are born deformed, some sick but again, by the Word of God, we are conceived in sin, in other words, a sinful world.  We live in a fallen world and we all pay the consequences of it.  The womb in our day has become a battlefield of the enemy.  This poem and note is not meant to bring condemnation on anyone who has had an abortion and has been forgiven and saved by the LORD, it is meant to hopefully deter any further abortions.

It is a shameful thing to think that a baby in not safe even in
his own mother’s womb.  God help us!

You Were There

You Were There All the Time


The night I was conceived, 
You were there.

The day my mother rejected me in her womb, 
You were there.

In that day, You took me up because, 
You were there.

Suddenly, my tiny body was aware Your eye was upon me and, I knew
You were there.

You watched my little body being formed in secret
You were there.

I was aware of Your love in my mother’s womb because
You were there.

You formed my ears and nose and mouth because
You were there.

My legs, hands and feet you formed because
You were there.

Again, I saw Your eye and was aware and knew in my little heart, 
You were there.

I knew I was unwanted on one hand but I knew You wanted me because, 
You were there.

You stayed with me and cared for me in the womb because
You were there.

On the day I was born, You breathed upon me and I knew You loved me, I knew
You were there.

Looking back on my life, Lord, even before I knew You, You were watching over me.  You’ve never left me alone; You saved me from death many times, Your love and care is above words that man can write or think.  Wonderful Lord I give You all of me and all my love for, You were there all the time, Yes, You were there!
