Please Let Them Grow

Please Let Them Grow

by Judith Alciatore

Success, Dear Lord, they drove away

A life spared from this mill

Suddenly, a brighter day

They hearkened to Thy Will

And I, a tiny hand in Thine

Whose voice was small, yet heard

Obeying Holy Law Divine

To carry out Thy Word

My heart so full as tears rolled on

As though to cleanse my soul

To know upon the morrow’s dawn

A brand-new life is whole

But tears of joy are overcome

By tears of sorrow, too

For those who say “My will be done”

And turn their backs on you

Another day is dawning now

As I prepare to pray

And with renewal of my vow

To save a life today

God, smile upon our efforts here

In this dark vale below

We know You hold Your children dear

Dear Lord, please let them grow

Thank You, Lord!

This pro-life poem was given to me by God during the time my 40 Days for Life team was praying at the local abortuary. Thank You, Lord, that it closed its doors.

If you are praying and holding vigil in front of an abortion mill, please feel free to use this poetic prayer if you wish.
