The Little hand The hand of knowledge reaches in To save the little unborn soul To mend his wounds so he will live To some day see the light unfold The practiced hand in all its strength Passes hope to next of birth To one who will in future months Take wonder at the things on earth A hand of healing, hand of hope Giving life to life’s own son And life then reaches back to hold The finger of the learned one A simple gesture, a subtle touch With little unborn hand unfurled The child reaches out for life And grasps the conscience of the world And those who would proclaim that life Is only valid after birth Took pause to reevaluate This little unborn child’s worth No words exist to quite explain The magnitude of such a sign An unborn child touched a hand And taught us all of love divine A little reach as if to say To all of you, my fellow man Perhaps someday when you’re in need I’ll be there to give a hand Elizabeth Santos |

Liz; This incredible poem gave me chills! How magnificent God is to teach of the sacredness of life in such a profound way. You wrote this so beautifully. Thank you. Love, Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ell |

This is indeed billboard and flyer material...I had the clearest image of Him reaching through the womb to hold the hand... beautiful... I think it needs to be marked for Book Submission...

This reminded me of that picture with the surgeon. The one Ruth had posted a while back. Where the baby reached out and grabbed the surgeon's finger. You've written a phenomenal piece here Liz! Miracles, they do still happen  |

Amazing Liz!!!! It too reminded me of the picture of the little one's hand holding the surgeons finger. How beautifully you put that into words. Bonnie |

Hi Liz, The world would indeed be a better place if they had this poem and the magnitude of the love you posses, Sunshine is so right about sharing this with all. You leave me in awe my friend.

Thank you all for your beautiful responses. this is , in fact, a poem about baby Samuel Armas reaching out to hold the hand of the surgeon during his pre-birth operation, and this poem was inspired by the picture of it that Hoot had posted. Thank you Liz |
