Child
Love of his life he wed because
although no longer young, she was
quite childlike.
Not able to conceive, she cried!
Once pregnant though, she nearly died
from childbirth!
But well-prepared were they to bring
their new son home, where everything
was childproof.
She spoiled their son; she’d always stay
at home for him; no need had they
for childcare.
Their son’s now grown. There’s too much of
an empty space. Now his dear love
feels childfree.
