Lost and Found

"Lost and Found"
by Letha Powell
February 7th,2000

There are many in this nation whose hearts seem hard as stone.
They deceive young future mothers telling them that it's not wrong
To remove that "fetal tissue", since your body's yours alone.
They convince you that what is wrong is right and it's O.K. to "go along".
They'll not tell you you'll be weeping in the quiet of the night,
Or how your heart will break in pieces once you've come to see the light.
They won't mention how you'll grieve the loss each time a babe's in sight.
Nor how you'll feel that it is far too late to make the wrong things right.
Are you feeling now the grief and loss of your own dear little one?
Do you weep alone in secret, suffering forthe wrong you've done?
Do you show yourself no mercy, are you lost in deep despair?
Remember, Jesus loves the sinner, open your heart to Him in prayer.
He will comfort and forgive you, give you grace for trials too.
When you reach out to the Savior you'll know He's reaching out to you.
In His Word you'll find the answer to the thoughts that trouble you.
When you put your faith in Jesus He takes the old life, gives you the new.



Both of the poems were written by my Great Aunt Letha, and posted with permission.
