Best Daughterhusband Poems


Girl

Girl 

Why let yourself get pregnant and put a hold on your life
  Why not wait till your older and become a wife.

Life could be better for you if you stay in school
  Listen to your parents and follow their rule. 

Life could pass you by if you become a young mother
 You may lose your friends to another.

Why let a guy change the future or your life          
  He may just leave you to go enjoy his life.

When the time comes and your baby is due.
  Will that baby’s daddy be there for you.  

Will he support you and your child
  Will he go to another girl and child.

Being married, misses would be your proper title
  Baby’s mama is what kind of title.    

 Being called a baby’s mama in your life
   Better sounding words are a mother and a wife. 

Having a husband you could have a better life   
  Think of your future as husband and wife.

Inappropriate Laughter

Our eighteen-year old daughter
Is lying comatose in the ICU
After a nearly fatal car crash.

My husband and I are driving to
A friend's house to leave ourve our
Thirteen-year old twins in her care
While I spend the day in the hospital

The road to the friend's house
Is at the top of a steep hill.
The road turns now this way, now that.

My husband keeps some cigars
on top of the dashboard.
As we clumb the hill,
Centrifugal force
Send the cigars sliding from side to side.

When the cigars slide my way,
My husband says, "Have a cigar." 
The cigars then slide back to his side
And I say "No, thanks, I just had one.
They slide towards me again and he says,
"Well, have another."

We dissolve into helpless laughter,
Realizing how insane we sound,
Driven there by the possibility
That our child could die.

To think about that,
Is more than we can bear.
So we wrap ourselves in laughter
As a balm against a possibility
We dare not contemplate.
