Life is worth living, it is a gift from above
From when it began as an act of love
By our wonderful creator, Christ, our Lord
Who made us in his image, we were so adored
So, Respect Life in all its glory,
From conception to natural death.
Through all the sorrows, joys and fury,
Life is precious; cherish every breath.
A grandma's touch, a baby's crawl,
Cookies made from scratch, eating them all
Christmas mornings and all its magic,
Holding a loved one's hand, in death, so tragic.
This gift of life is beyond compare,
We need to appreciate a love so rare,
That could only be given by God above,
Who loved us so much he gave his only son
So we could be saved and live our lives
Being faithful, husbands and wives.
Grateful children, who are taught right from wrong,
With a sense of service, a faith that is strong.
Life is precious, so treat it like gold,
Never take it for granted, it’s worth can't be told.
Respect Life.
