LIFE CHAIN

All hearts are being called to fuse
in love and daily join to use,
Mary’s life chain, when prayed in trust
will bring about a world that’s just.

Full of life, not despair and death
that comes from Satan’s sulfureous breath,
he tempts, he taunts, fogs and distorts
then in weakest moments does abort.

New life, so fresh and innocent
that is a gift from heaven sent,
a flower that was plucked too soon
from the haven of the womb.

Let us band together, lift our banner high
each prayer sent soaring to the sky,
every boy and girl, and man and wife
come be a link in the chain of life.
