Excuse sir can we talk for awhile,
Can we discuss the needs of both of our child?
How is it that you can just walk away,
From a baby we made and I have to stay.
It's funny you see I don't understand,
How you can leave your child and still be a man.
How you can go out each night and meet new girls
And exclude your own child as part of your world.
They think you're so charming with your looks and style,
But would you still be so charming if this was their child?
I couldn't keep you away from me,
Before we laid down as two and woke up as three.
Look at his eyes and all his toes,
He has your smile and button nose.
So give him a chance it's not that bad,
Because it's too much work being mom and dad!

A State of Disarray

Being a single parent is tough. Mine are nearly grown, and it has at times been overwhelming. I mourne for my oldest son who never knew his father, but I also know how much his father missed out on. I got all the memories and the joy and that is our consolation.

Again, welcome to PiP. I hope that you find this to be a place you enjoy visiting. It has become my favorite on line place to relax.

Tanya,

I cannot say that PiP will hold any answers for all of the questions in your poems, but I know one thing; you have a huge heart.

I think this poem explains perfectly why I don't like the phrase "We are pregnant." that so many people use today (just before the girl wakes up and smells the coffee.)
