Child Support

4/21/02 Child support is not all about getting paid; it’s about supporting one another. It’s the results of what comes out of laying up together, and what we made. We hada baby, and that was alright in my eyes, but after the arrival of our child I realize that you’re really someone else in disguise. You toiled with my emotions, you played with my love. You stopped paying attention to my sexual needs, my wants. Then I stop feeling you, like love sent from above. I asked you questions that lay heavy on my heart, The first was about parenting, you know becoming a mom and dad to start. It’s about a learning process, that the two of us must go through, It’s about God the Father and child support, not just me and you. We must start out together, one step at a time, Stop running out on me when things are stressful, and the baby won’t stop crying. We must lend a should when our bundle of joy falls ill, Wipe up the spills together, sweep up the messes and teach him all the baby songs Starting with Jack and Jill . We must support his head at the same time, the babies head in your hand, your hand in mine. Take him to the doctor, I’ll go first, then you right behind. Change the diapers, give him a bath, I’ll kiss the baby and you kiss him at last. Child support means a lot more than money, And at bedtime we must get down on our knees to thank the Lord for Our bundle of joy, honey.
