Prayer of An Unwed Mother
Hush little baby please don’t cry
There’s not a speck of hope in the vast night sky
You got a mommy who loves you
She’s doing her best
She’s rented a room
So you can get some rest
Cuz she cannot sleep if you keep on crying
Hush little baby please don’t moan
You’ll make it through cuz you’re not alone
You’ve got a mommy who needs you
Though she may weep
For your daddy who has
A Promise to keep
Hush little baby please don’t wail
For once in his life
Your daddy cannot fail
I’ll bring you up
I’ll treat you right
If only I can make it
Through this night
:( this poem has so many
:( this poem has so many layers of sad I do not know whcih to address :(

Much Love
Ashley
