Unplanned
Her energetically youthful joints bounce
To the beat
Her belly baby bump doesn't slow her down
She sings the lyrics of the Lord's love
Hiding her truth
To prevent his second murder
No blood on her hands
He'll spend time behind bars
And she'll build her life holding her daughter
Up to the sun
She'll marry
And live
And her baby daughter, answered prayer,
Will share
Poetry with the world
But these women will still mourn
One in sorrow for her choice
And one in guilt for the life of a older sibling unled
And yet the baby girl loves God
And freedom
Equally
How can she be pro choice?
She knows what it means to be
