Oh No, Surely Not Again

Oh, No, Surely Not Again By Elton Camp She thought they did everything right Both babies one and two were a delight But this one is just so totally unplanned What happened, she just can’t understand Usual precautions they were sure to take This surely must be some testing mistake But “Pregnant” is the word it does say A life-changing event is now underway Her health problems increased of late This complication she surely does hate Financially, they are barely getting by Needs of another, how can they supply Their relationship is already shaky at best Their marriage will be put to a severe test He refuses to help with kids & house now This won’t cause him to change somehow But termination is far beyond her belief As it would destroy with guilt and grief For this family, friction and strife lie ahead She stares in dismay at the word she read
