A Grandma's poem for Sara
Dear Sara
Dear Sara, "Little Princess"
My special name for you
How fitting you should have it
To soon your glory came.
Your little heart was broken
When Mommy let you go
But angel please remember
She really didn't know.
Some said it wasn't beating
Your tiny little heart
And so it didn't matter
They tore you all apart.
They said you couldn't feel it
How Satan can deceive
The agony you suffered
So many disbelieve.
No grave to mark your passing
And few to mourn or pray
But Grandma's heart is full of love
That death can never fill.
Sweet Angel pray for Mommy
And pray for Daddy too
And say a prayer for Grandma
And I will pray for you.
And you and I together
Will pray for all your friends
Who never had a birthday
We'll pray abortion ends.
Love, Grandma
Written by Mary Kathryn Johnson
Prayer to End Abortion
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life,
And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters.
I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion,
Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son.
I am ready to do my part in ending abortion.
Today I commit myself Never to be silent,
Never to be passive,
Never to be forgetful of the unborn.
I commit myself to be active in the Pro-Life movement,
And never to stop defending life
Until all my brothers and sisters are protected,
And our nation once again becomes
A nation with liberty and justice Not just for some, but for all,
Through Christ our Lord, Amen!
Father Frank Pavone
