A child was born to a child today
And out of fear was thrown away.
Afraid of what her parents would think,
From this responsibility she did shrink.
It was found in a dumpter with the trash,
A perfectly good child almost in the garbage truck mashed,
But a kind stranger dug it up
And rushed it to a hospital, passing deaths cup.
Where have our senses went
When our children fear telling us of such a blessed event.
Our past actions have put them at risk.
We are so busy the signals we miss.
There is no point in placing blame.
The children want to grow up too fast and that is a shame.
What's done is done, just let it go
Get on with helping this new life grow.
How do we prevent an unwanted child?
That question has driven more than one wild.
Who is to explain the birds and the bees?
Mom, Dad, the teachers? PUULLLLEEEAAASSSSEEE!!!
If you tell them too soon, you condon premarital sex.
If you tell them too late, your daughter could be next.
There is not an easy fix to the dilema now,
But when a childs life is at stake, you gotta hitch the plow.
As a parent it is hard to admit we failed
But the biggest failure would be to let mom and child ail.
No greater sin on earth
Than to damn a mother for giving birth.
We all are here to make mistakes and learn
It is how we profit that will determine if we burn.
Love your children and be very open and caring
Talk to them and mostly listen to what they are sharing.
Communication must not be cut due to fear
Or the warnings of a new life, you will not hear.
Be straight with your children, but ready to bend
So it won't be your grand child pulled out of that bin.
