Child Unexpected
A child unexpected.
A child unplanned.
A child neglected.
A child with no plans.
A child distracted.
A child abused.
A child misused.
A child left behind.
A child with no design.
A child with no place.
A child with no space,
Like a shoe with no lace.
Compared to a child expected,
A child planned.
A child attended to.
A child focused.
A child loved.
A child who's not pushed
Or shoved.
A child that one can't get
Enough of.
A child with a voice.
A child kept up with.
A child with a design.
A child who is fine.
A child with a place.
A child with a space.
A child with a face,
That one would love,
To see.
Tell me,
Which child,
Would you rather be?
