Pro choice or Pro Death –
Not a Choice…A LIFE


Poem Artwork


It is amazing how one moment in time
Can change a life, TAKE a life!
One choice and your life takes another turn
You find yourself
On the road less traveled

Unfamiliar territory
Surrounds you
No faces that you know
Voices never heard before
Now resonate in your ears

Where did you go?
What have you done?
Where is your life?

Just one choice, just one moment
And a life time is altered
Because you faltered
And made one wrong move

Life is not a game,
but you can win or lose
Life is not a play
For which you rehearse
There is no stage left
Only right or wrong
Good or evil
Black or white
No
Grey
areas!

What if you could go back?
What if you could make the right choice?
What if you could say no,
when you once said yes?

Yes
Just one moment
And a life was over
before a breath was drawn
One choice and a child’s
heart
Stopped
Beating
In
One
Moment

Before you make that choice to take a life, talk with someone at a Pregnancy Care Center. She will help you find help and think clearly about the alternatives. There is hope for your future.

Someone cares about you!
