Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

A poem written by a post abortive woman who was feeling judged.

A Glimpse of His Mercy

You look at me and judge me

You can’t accept the fact

That somehow I have gotten peace

Through a mercy that you lack

You feel forever’s not enough

For me to feel the pain

For having killed my unborn child

You’d never lift the stain

You think the fight is only won

by focusing on the child

“Murderer” you’re known to shout,

“She should live reviled”

But no matter how intense

There is something you’ve forgotten,

Within my womb and nowhere else

my child was begotten

And Jesus through His Mercy

Desires me to be

Reunited with my child for all eternity

I thank the Lord for showing me His mercy and His love

And anticipate with gratitude the thought of heaven above

And so before you damn me for all eternity

Perhaps you should remember His mercy  shown to me.
