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

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
