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)
