Childbearing

Airing my opinion to my wife.
Daring to suggest another child,
Caring for the family I loved,
Sharing our noble thoughts, she smiled.

Where would we find enough to live on,
Aware of all the needs for us to care?
Dare we tempt our God with our needs?
Prayer, we said and went to our lair.

Indeed. There is no right or good time to bring a child into the world. Only a commitment to giving, sharing and sacrifice and tough love, with a mind that is open and a heart that flutters. This poem only confirms that you deserve a place on the soup. Regards David

You made the right choice my friend. God always provides that is what he does. He blesses those that love and take care of children. Enjoyed reading Victor and liked the story... Hope all is well my friend and you are doing well with your arthritic pain... I pray you have healing and a strong heart Victor...

So true! And in the air of our era! Every single thing and concern, I think, is talked over and over.. Nothing is kept not under a deep pondering and under a meticulous consideration for so many a reason.. What is more important for me is the huge delight while reading your wonderful poem! You have displayed your thoughts and feelings in a so stunning poetic way! Always a tremendous pleasure reading you, Victor! God bless you.

Dear Victor, a nice rhyme and so simply put, which no doubt thousands of couples face throughout the world daily. I concur with Tom, somehow or the other there seems enough for all. I dare say that you tempted God with your needs after all. Lol Hugs Maria

It's always a worry if you can afford to feed another mouth but you always seem to get by.. Tom
