Friends, Below is a poem that Ricky wrote dealing with abortion. It is a very personal poem as he and his wife confronted this decision with their unborn child as doctors informed them of serious in utero complications. Because of their decision, repeated miracles were witnessed by doctors, nurses and parents! Amen and Amen.
Dear Mom
I guess I will never know,
But what if I had been given the chance?
To run and play in summer fields of green…
To make angels in the winter snow…
To admire the colors of autumn’s scene…
To smell the spring in winds that blow…
Do you ever wonder,
What I might have been?
A preacher to save the lost…
A writer to place words to pen…
A soldier to pay the ultimate cost…
Or maybe just a sinner,
To be forgiven of sin.
You can never know the love you missed!
I would have cried at night and played all day,
Noodle pasted pictures and hand molds of clay.
I would have made you proud with all I had done,
You would have been my Hero, and I, your Son.
But for you I was just a choice,
And you did what you thought was right.
But I wish you could have heard my voice,
Before you aborted me last night.
If I could have only formed the words,
To somehow make you see…
But my quill will never write,
For this author will never be.
