You Did This To Me

I looked at her and she looked fine Until she turned to the side. Something strange about that girl She was shorter than she was wide. She held her hands below her waist And pulled up once in a while. Then she rubbed it down again Giving her face a little smile. "Do you feel that?", she would say As she put my hand on her tummy. The movement kind of startled me So I didn't feel very "chummy". "He's kicking again, and it's all your fault YOU DID THIS TO ME!" Then I would remind her of that night When she wanted to be free. "It takes two to tango." , I said to her "You didn't seem to mind it then." "But I never expected this consequence When we acted as lovers not friends". It's been almost nine months now What is there to say? We're not having a kitty or puppy But a baby is on the way. I'm sure we'll love the bundle of joy That has been ordained for us. With priceless smiles and goo goo talk And grandparents who'll coo and fuss. For a child always comes by way of love Not only through passion's route. But when he's born our lives will change Of that, I have no doubt. "So Lord, give us the grace To raise our child with encouragement and love, That he will grow in strength and wisdom That can only come from above."
