Magical Innocence

When a child comes into the world
There is a magical innocence that becomes unfurled
An innocence that dares to be captivating
And a magic in their eyes that is fascinating
So go ahead and gaze upon their eyes
And tell me you don't see the magic that you spy
Because what you see is something so special
That you don't have the time to see it all
But if you did have the time
You could see that there's no reason or rhyme
In what you see that is so magical
It is in the way they play
It is in what they say
It is in the way they laugh
And it is in what they have that is so little of time and a half

From the Womb

From the womb there is a life that wants to live
From the womb there is a life that has something to give
A life that may grow up to become a doctor
A life that may grow up to become a lawyer
Or maybe that life will write a novel like Tom Sawyer
But maybe that life won't happen
Because its mother has another plan
A plan to abort this unique life
A unique life that will undoubtedly become so special
So special in fact that it will bear the image of God
And God will want this life to have an important impact
On the many lives it will come into contact
But again the mother's plan is to abort this life, from the womb
So how do we convince this mother not to dump it in the tomb
The tomb that houses all the aborted lives throughout the years
And also contains from ten thousand angels their many tears
So if you can talk to this mother and tell her the life inside her
Is a life created by God and considered to be an important one
You will have done something very bold and brave
To turn her around, to give her baby a chance to live
