Baby Girl, Sue

So suddenly it came, 
without a warning,
breaking her heart in two.

She stayed up late
and would contemplate
what she was to do.

Would she deal with it? 
Or kill the problem?
She didn’t have a clue.

She wasn’t ready, 
so much more to live,
so much she never knew.

Nothing was easy, 
and time didn’t help,
it seemed impossible to get through.

She was burned with stares,
and exhausted from lectures,
within the nine months she grew.

Then one day,
she found her reason 
when she met her baby girl, Sue.
