HIGH SCHOOL HONORABLE MENTION

Poem by Mary Stachiw, Bel Air, Maryland

Oh dear God, what should I do?
I'm stuck here, lost, without a clue.
My doctor says it's my "choice".
But is it for me to decide
Whether my baby should ever hear another voice?
Then God said, "I love you so! Don't believe their lies.
Abortion is evil the truth will show".

Oh dear God, what should I do?
I'm stuck here, lost, without a clue.
They say it's just "interrupting my pregnancy".
Then why do I feel like it's the death of my baby?
Then God said, "I love you so! Don't believe their lies.
Abortion is evil, the truth will show."

Oh dear God, what should I do?
I'm stuck here, lost, without a clue.
I hear them say, "Abortion's not wrong, it is your right.
How come it seems, then,
That I'm fighting the wrong fight?
Then God said, "I love you so! Don't believe their lies.
Abortion is evil, the truth will show."

Oh dear God, what should I do?
I'm stuck here lost without a clue.
They tell me this place is just a "family health service".
Why, then does being there make me so nervous?
Then God said, "I love you so! Don't believe their lies.
Abortion is evil, the truth will show."
