When one heart stops beating
Another heart break
Life is measured by the breathless moments
And not how many breaths you take

But how can that be true
If you never learn to breathe?
How can you learn to appreciate?
If you never learn to see?

How can you be humble
If you never hear of pride?
How can you make a difference
If you crossed to the other side?

How can you be happy
If you never get to smile?
How can you enjoy your youth
If you never are a child?

How can you be generous
If you never learn to give?
How can you be loved
If you never get to live?

How can you know the truth about God
If you never learn the lies?
How can you ever know what existence is
If all you ever did was die?

How can a mother go on
When her flesh and blood is dead?
How can she ever give birth again
If the first time she never did?

How can we ever end this terrible treachery
The lives deep within our hearts?
Making better decisions
Would only be a small start

Jesus can comfort our pain
Over and over each time
Not to mention
Forgive us of this horrible crime

Although these girls have murdered
And although they may have lied
God will still forgive them
Even though it’s their fault a child has died

But this child is in heaven now
Peacefully, so happy
Laughing away the moments
With their loving Daddy

Because of their parents mistake
These children were not allowed to be
But now they’re in a better place
That’s where they’ll remain for eternity

But what about the future?
Will the population slowly fade?
Maybe one day this generation will realize
That our days are precious and life ain't a game

A wise boy once said
“In God we trust but our nation’s going insane”
I can see the truth in that
Since we’re causing so much pain

People wanna hide the broken hearts
By putting on happy faces
But inside our mortal souls
Are just falling away to pieces

Can we really be that stupid
To continue in something that hurts everyone?
Our only hope is that God will one day
Undo the things that we’ve done

In God we trust
But we’re killing our children
But how could they have known better
If they never heard the truth about abortion?

though i think the topic of the poem is very opinionated and not all agree with yours it was a well written poem and had great structure

oh, wow, the title really popped out at me. I am the mother of two young children, and i cant even stand the thought of having an abortion. its awful, but sometymes you dont always have a choice in the matter( a terminally ill fetus, pregnancy itself could kill the mother, or even an act of incest, i personally believe that those are logical reasons to terminate a pregnancy.) keep writing, i loved this... really emotional.

Have you ever heard that "No shirt, No shoes" rule? My question is...Why doesn't that rule include pants?
