"Sarah" A Poem about New Beginnings I'm Sarah, I'm sixteen; Last night I failed. I prayed for more strength, So why did I yield? He said he loved me, Brought me flowers and all; Then he took me upstairs And caused me to fall. I feel so ashamed, So dirty inside. He's taken my heart; Now I want to go hide. I let down my parents, And they trusted me so. Can God forgive me? I need to know. If I had it to do All over again, I think I would run To a close, loving friend. The pain hurts so bad; I want you to know, So you won't give in. You'll know when to go! Yes, God can forgive! It says it right here; Jesus died for my sins, So I never need fear. My past is all cleansed; I'm whiter than snow. Yet my sin is still sin; Consequences don't go. Today I start over, My purity new! I'm God's little girl, Straight through and through! Abstain - yes, I must! By God's grace and power, I'll stay close to Him, Hour by hour. Hiding His Word Deep in my heart; When faced with temptation, Next time I'll be smart. I know from now on I'm determined to wait; God has a man Designed as my mate. When that time comes, And I know he's the one; The day I'll be married - Now that'll be fun! But until then, To the Lord will I cling; At just the right time, My husband, He'll bring. I'm trusting Him now With all of my soul. The Lord holds my future; That's all I must know! --Sarah --Author unknown. Online version.

Jason A Poem about Tough Choices I'm Jason, a senior; Last month I failed. My girlfriend is pregnant; I'm tempted to bail. Of course, I know better; I knew better then. But I did the wrong thing, Now how will it end? Should I marry my Sarah? Are we really in love? Is abortion an option? Oh, dear God above! Is it murder? I'm thinking. Do I really care? If God knows the child, Would it really be fair? I saw the photos: The babies extracted; They looked like my sister. My mother reacted! Her parents could raise him? Or, maybe mine? If it's a girl, My father would cry. What about Sarah, What if we married? Could we ever make it? Man, this is scary. Adoption perhaps; We could give it up? A fine loving home, Dude, this is tough! I know the baby Will be hers and mine; And whatever we do, Time won't rewind. I’m praying, Dear God! I know I have sinned! Your boundaries were crossed, Now how do we win? A new life is coming, For that I am glad. But the pain we're enduring; Boy, this is sad. If only we'd waited, For God’s perfect plan He'd have led us along, With His loving hand. Yeah, we messed up. I mean me - I'm the one! I convinced her do it. Thought it'd be fun! Should've known better, But I’ve done it before. Yeah, God and His rules. Now I know what they're for! Lucky for us, There's no disease! One girl I knew - Let's just say, STD's! Kids think it's normal; Schools teach us that. Protection's the savior. Are they dumb as a bat? Well, what about me? I thought I was cool. God's Word was right. Tell that to the school! From here on out, We'll trust in You, Lord. Give us your plan! We'll follow your Word. Praying each day For the right thing to do, And seeking His will: Our baby - for you! --Jason (NOTE: Unrelated to the Bohanon family - author is unknown.) (Also online .}
