51. Earth’s Unborn Children Weeping

How dread that sound, the world around,
That bids us wake from sleeping.
It is the greatest shame of all,
Earth’s unborn children weeping.

Why can’t we see, what should not be,
The innocents we slaughter.
They ask for little more than life.
They beg, but none will offer.

Too close to thee, too close to me,
Unspoken pleadings languish.
In selfish pride, we pass them by,
And let them die in anguish.

Oh, Precious Son, Thou Holy One,
Help us to heal their sorrows.
Teach us to give, teach us to live,
That they share our tomorrows.

Then in that day, when Thou shalt say,
“I left them in thy keeping. ”
Our works and words will testify,
“We heard Thy children weeping. ”

Matthew 18:2-6

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

I found the photo quite by accident. (Query:  Is there really such?) The photographer encourages free downloads. You will not forget this image, nor, I pray, the reality it affirms.
