Mom I'M Pregnant
“Mom…. I’m Pregnant!”
From the time I held my baby
in my arms…
I made a vow to “protect her from all harm.”
She was indeed a wonderful bundle of joy…
And during her life, has been a gift for us to enjoy.
She's been the focus of much of our attention,
Trying to provide for her
“timely” correction.
As a father, many thoughts entered my mind…
I wanted to be attentive to her,
patient and kind.
As she's gone through
her teenage years…
I thought of what perhaps is a parent’s #1 “fear.”
Then one day... “Mom I’m pregnant” were spoken...
At first, my heart was sad and “broken.”
“I didn’t raise her to be “crazy and wild…”
“How could this happen to a wonderful child?”
I realized that in spite of everything
parent’s will do.
There’s no telling what their
children will put them through.
I gave her a hug and all of the
support I could give…
Everything she’s been through…
God will forgive!
With all that has happened in her life…
One day she’ll make someone a wonderful wife!
Dear Lord, please help my daugher to see...
How precious she is to her mother and me!
