Judy Konos Poet Rhyme

Toys For Christmas

She came home from school looking blaise
Calmly I asked,  "How was your day?"
Silence followed with trembles from fright 
With outstretched arms, I'd make it alright.
 

"Talk to me please.... I'll help if I can"
"Well mom, she said, I'm pregnant, again"
I spoke in that moment , "When is it due?"
"Around the holidays," and instantly knew. 


There'd be Toys for Christmas, Santa Clause
Our family together and then we'd pause
To thank the Lord for his blessings above
Our house now a home filled with genuine love
 

So mothers out there whatever you do
Be kind of heart and help her get through 
Keep saying "I love you" with glee in your eye
It will all work out as long as you try!

(this story is 28 years old and we love our boy)
                                     ***

Poet Destroyer A July 22, 2015 at 11:49 PM JUDY, this is a nice little win. Always ~LINDA~ Judy Konos July 26, 2015 at 9:37 AM How is your little one doing? ...Just wondering....

Kp Nunez July 16, 2015 at 1:19 AM This is one sure testimony of how great a mother's love should be, Judy. Made me tear up... Though this has not happened in my family, this story is not uncommon and the varied reactions of other parents when it happens should make this daughter proud that she has you and your family. Beautiful story. Kim Judy Konos July 17, 2015 at 8:44 AM Thank you Kim...appreciated...
