Baby
Mommy and daddy pray and hope,
happy to tell of their little girl.
Of her first day in kindergarten,
then quickly of her teen years and first crush;
eyes gleaming at the thought.
Joy thinking of her first dance;
to the prom with Lance.
He's lucky to have such pretty lass.
Such a gentleman, or so they thought,
as they picked up their baby from another stop.
I cried - ashamed of what I did;
"Thought he'd love me, it's what he said".
"My parents' baby I am no more..."
"I should have died, not the baby I adore".
God forgive me, he forced my hand...
Threats to tell my mom and dad.
May He give me the will to live,
perhaps someday I will deserve the love I give.
Until then, I'll barely get by,
seeing my baby in every child's eyes.
