Another Option
My friend Grace Kelly (that's her zollywood name of course) met a beautiful girl (who we call Princess Leah) around ten years ago. This girl was a single mum trying to raise her little boy. The girl is now a lovely friend of mine and is now a mother of three and following the Lord. Grace lead her to Jesus back when Leah was feeling very alone and lost. Leah once told me that she had decided to put her son up for adoption and it was only the intervention of Jesus that made her change her mind. Leah was only sixteen when she fell pregnant. Her son is now sixteen.
I'm pregnant and I'm really young.
I guess there is no option.
I can't get rid of it you know.
I'm going for adoption.
Too much to do in life today.
I have many plans to make.
This life of mine is all I've got,
I can't live with this mistake.
It's OK I've made the choice.
This baby has to go.
As I make my life and my career
I'll have much more to show.
The baby doesn't need a mum
Who's too young and still at school.
It needs a loving family
With a home and swimming pool.
A nice couple can raise my child
And have a happy home.
I'll continue on my road,
Downhearted and alone.
I felt a kick inside my tum.
The baby's moving round.
It feels so good, a spark ignites,
These feelings that I've found.
I sit down.
I want to know this baby deep inside.
I'm thinking 'bout the future now
And how my heart has cried.
I'm wanting God to help me now.
A baby lives in me.
Should I give my baby up?
What will the answer be.
"You have paths that you can take
on how your life will be.
The child now inside of you,
is a gift to you, from me"
"I hope you see with open eyes
That you have another option.
Especially when you talk with me
about your planned adoption"
"Just think of me, my plans are good.
Your steps are yours to take.
Remember as your baby grows.
NO CHILD IS A MISTAKE."
