Mommy and Me

As I nestled in her warm, safe womb
I heard my Mommy's voice.
She sounded troubled as she said,
"I have to make a choice."
She paced the floor, and cried out,
"I can't have a baby --- NO!"

"Don't worry, Mommy, it's not time yet --
I have 6 more months to grow."

The more she cried, the worse I felt.
She didn't know I heard.
All alone, she cried, but I couldn't help --
I couldn't speak a word.
I kicked my feet and tried to make her
know it was okay.
Together, we could make it through
and God would show the way.

And then I heard her screaming that
today would be the day!

I couldn't see the tears she shed,
but it wasn't hard to guess --
she was turning pages in a book,
and barely whispered, "yes."
She must have found the number
and was set to make a call --
Just then she saw the Bible
on the bookshelf in the hall!

"Okay, God, try to stop me --
I'll just dial anyway!
I'm sure it's not a baby yet,
and they'll know just what to say."
Pregnancy/Abortion Rights
was the heading at the top.
She traced her finger down the page,
then brought it to a stop.

My Mommy didn't know that
someone prayed for her that hour --
someone who never knew her,
but who trusted in God's power!
In answer to those earnest prayers,
a "wrong number" she would call --
Until she went to that loving place,
she thought she had no friends at all.

Ever since my Mommy found her way,
and learned God's plan for me,
she can hardly wait to see my face!
And  Mommy thanks the Lord for me!
