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."
