Heartbreak

You find yourself
pregnant
are told so many
choices
you could make
confused
emotions overflow upon
a tear stained face
healthy baby you now hold
Lord we are so grateful
yet this morning brings
a stark reminder of his
father's struggle once again
he brings you to the edge
of pain with his
addictions
you have kept at bay
you find both father
and his child bring heavy
responsibilities
your struggle, pain, confusion
displayed once more upon
a tear stained face with
questions unanswered

It is the child I grieve for. Thank God it is healthy of body, and pray that it's life circumstance does not warp it's mind.
