Teenage Pregnancy

With broken heart and all alone, she cried. “I love you.” were his words, but he lied. A sweet young girl now lost in deep despairs. No! Teenage pregnancy; God knows and cares. She always was her daddy's little girl. His precious child to womanhood was hurled. A father's love surpasses anger's flares. No! Teenage pregnancy; God knows and cares. She went to church to learn the right and wrong. A choir angel singing heaven's song – Brothers, sisters solemnly sit and stare. No! Teenage pregnancy; God knows and cares. Her rounded body feels the life within. Motherhood lives near to her chagrin. Her mother held her close; the tears were theirs. No! Teenage pregnancy; God knows and cares. “Sure, she's nice,” he said, but we are so young. Fatherhood was not for him; his song was sung. “She should have been more careful,” he declares. No! Teenage pregnancy; God knows and cares. © May 22, 2011 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/teenagepregnancy.html: Often, teenagers don't receive timely prenatal care, and they have a higher risk for pregnancy-related high blood pressure and its complications.
