Forty Days - A Poem Written for the 40 Days for Life Campaign


This poem was written by Judy Alciatore for the first 40 Days for Life Campaign in Iowa.  It was read at their kick-off rally.  Judy has graciously given permission for all to use it if they so wish.

FORTY DAYS

By Judy Alciatore

JESUS WALKED THE DESERT
SO MANY YEARS AGO
FORTY DAYS HE SACRIFICED
AND CARRIED ALL OUR WOES.

IN THIS FORTY DAYS FOR LIFE
WE ASK YOU PLEASE TO PRAY
TAKE ONE SMALL STEP WITH JESUS
AND THEN GO ON YOUR WAY.

JESUS DIED SO WE MAY LIVE
HIS FOOTSTEPS NEVER STRAYED
PRAY FOR LIFE, AND IF YOU DO
A BABY MAY BE SAVED.

THERE IS POWER IN YOUR PRAYER
AND MERCY IN YOUR SONG
PRAY TO STOP ABORTION
AND WITH JESUS, WALK ALONG
THANK YOU, LORD!


Judy  Alciatore is a life-long cradle Catholic. She first joined 40 Days for Life while living in Iowa; and also joined the local RTL group there. Since moving back home to Texas, Judy has continued as a member of 40 Days for Life. She has prayed in front of the local abortion mill, and has written several pro-life poems, which God has freely given her, and which she freely shares. Judy states that if one life is saved by any of these poems, then they have served God's Purpose.
