~MY
ONE BIG MISTAKE~
By: Mary Katherine
Kohl
February 17,
2001
Oh, Lord,
I'm a sinner, I humbly confess
I've committed
a lot of sins, and my life is a mess.
Lord, I have
done some really awful things
And I suffered
the agony that SIN soon brings.
But there's
one big mistake that haunts me yet
Because, what
I did ~ I just can't forget.
Lord, I was
in trouble. In the family way
And I couldn't
handle it....that unforgettable day.
All my circumstances
were far from ideal
I had no where
to go to make an appeal.
I felt this
baby; I would surely never miss
Therefore
an abortion would put an end to this.
No one would
ever know, I could go on with my life.
But the aftermath
of abortion brought agonizing strife.
There were
days I wondered...Was it a girl or a boy?
And I knew
I had missed a world full of joy...
What color
were his eyes? Were they green or blue?
I', extremely
depressed, and still grieving too!
Not a day
has gone by that I haven't grieved
Over killing
the baby that I once conceived.
I was really
quite young when this happened to me.
Although I'm
now in my eighties I'm still in agony.
Lord I'm so
ashamed to make this confession,
For the baby
I killed was Your Prized Possession.
Now I'm telling
my secret to let other girls know
Abortion just
isn't the correct path to go.
I'm exposing
my mistake as my eyes fill with tears,
For I carried
this burden for over sixty-five years.
I've sought
forgiveness from My God on High.
And I hope
to forgive myself before I die.
As I sought
forgiveness many Scriptures come to mind
They're now
my LEGACY which I leave behind...
Please consider
my story, and God's WORD, too.
May The Sanctity
Of Life be preserved by YOU.
This poem depicts
the agony of a friend. She carried her guilt
and grief
to the grave in 1998. I dedicated this poem to all
aborted babies
and to all of their mothers who carry guilt and
grief over
the aftermath of an abortion.
Sanctity of
Life Week is from
January 18
to 25
Mary Kay lost
her daughter, Mary K. Hicks
in a car accident
in 1995.
