Hello Mom, Im Pregnant

Hello Mom, I’m pregnant I know it’s sad but true You wanted me to wait at least Till high school days were through But Mom, he says he loves me And I know I love him We’re planning to get married This isn’t just a whim Hello Mom, I’m pregnant And I don’t know what to do I don’t know how it happened But it’s boyfriend number two And Mom, he says he loves me He’s not like other guys This guy is a senior He’s older and more wise Hello Mom, I’m pregnant But it’s boyfriend number three I’m sure he is the father Or at least he soon will be And Mom, he says he loves me And he plans to settle down When his traveling days are over And he comes back into town Hello Mom, I’m pregnant And I dropped out of school Those other guys were losers But this guy – he is cool And Mom, he says he loves me And he sure makes me smile We’re leaving for the weekend Can you watch the kid awhile? Hello Mom, I’ pregnant No, don’t hang up the phone I think I’ve learned my lesson And I’m finally coming home But Mom, he said he loved me Then he left me like the rest I think that I’ll give up on men I think that’s for the best Hello Mom Hello Mom Hello Mom 5/21/11 In 2006, 750,000 women younger than 20 became pregnant.

I was surprised to see that a man wrote this powerful entry from a female's perspective. I would have never guessed.....you placed the audience in the desperate girl's shoes. I hope the mother in this poem eventually answered the phone.... Your statistics also paint a grim picture of a global pandemic. I am glad that at the end of the poem the girl had a home to return to. :) Congrats, Mike! Gwendolen
