Is there a place
Where I may find,
The unborn babies,
left behind.
In darkness,
tiny lives
are stilled.
Where now
does their soft light
dwell?

I wish to be in their light
And what would become of my sight.
What source of life could there be...
to comfort me.
What gentle truth would help me see.

Why a mother's choice begins the end,
And life is taken from God's hand,
Why two are one, and both share life,
Yet one decides that one will die.

The breath of life will never cease.
This tiny candle burns in peace.
A mother's heart will hold this flame
A faithful spark to light her way
With open arms, He calls her name.

There is a place where I may find
An unborn baby, left behind.
Safe at rest in mother's soul,
A quiet guest, a gentle place.
A mother's heart, I must embrace.

Only in love
Can His voice
Have a place
In the choice that we make.
