Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

That One

Never know he wasn’t wanted,
by his Dad way back then
Secret she’s taken to her grave,
as some folks do … a sin

That One, was all she had prayed for,
since brother, never had
Never could she have imagined,
not wanted … by its Dad?

Wonder if Dad ever regrets,
he didn’t want, that child
Doubt if ever thought when older,
That One …  might bring a smile

That One, she knew would make her smile,
never once had a doubt
Since played with dolls, wanted a son,
That One …
she lives without.
