Poem Title:
Poem
Just fifteen years old, pregnant and all alone, A child herself but in a family way as she checks the coin slot in another pay phone. Homeless, hungry, all alone and terribly scared, She just wanders the streets totally unprepared. Her folks told her she was an absolute disgrace, And how were they going to look their neighbors in the face? With tears in her eyes and a broken heart she left not wanting to cause her parents pain, A few clothes packed she heads out in the pouring rain. She had been victimized and raped by someone her parents held dear, She figured they would take his side and the only thing left was for her to just disappear. Quickly she found out just how hard the streets would become, And out here if you’re to make it you learn fast not to act dumb. Shoplifting and panhandling was the only way this young girl had to survive, And she didn’t know what to do cause in a short two months the baby would arrive. But her luck was about to change with a young couple she was about to meet, They were searching for someone like her and they were wealthy and sweet. In exchange for her child they promised her, her education and a chance at a brand new start, She knew she could never support the child and this was the way they should part. On the day of the delivery the baby was taken away, Not even knowing if it was a boy or a girl they were separated that day. The couple honored their agreement and the young girl became an educated woman with wealth of her own, And she uses that wealth to help others in dire needs returning to others the kindness she was shown. Note: Isn't this a better alternative than abortion?
