Disinherited Children Poem by AHO Speaks

In order to receive we must give
A gift of each child one more day to live.

So much has been written trying to answer why
We of little faith; sacrifice our children; and know they do not die.

Everything is here and in its place
Each one that goes we lose another mind; another face.

Children are God's distinct treasure
Anything else on earth is of very little measure.

God loves every child regardless of birth
To give them life and contribute their worth.

Each of us have but a moment of earthly time
Why do we sacrifice the children of the one God divine?

Life should be a reflection of goodness to see
Protecting the children to give thanks to thee.

For life we can never repay
Nor for a gift of a child for another day.

Each child is a vessel for the continuity of man
Why fill a child's mind with what they do not understand.
