Some people shout “Save the whales!”,
While others warn to save the trees,
Here is a challenge for all of them,
Won’t you save unborn babies please?
There are so many causes in the world,
It can really make one’s head to spin,
But I think the noblest cause of all,
Is to let that new human life begin.
In His love, God gives a special gift,
But many selfishly just toss it aside,
You think you’re getting away with it,
But your murderous sin you can’t hide.
