              ~Baby On The Way~

~~~~

She's all alone, fearing no one actually care's anymore about her or the baby,

all she ever hears from any one that comes around,

is how she does not know what she's getting into with having a baby.

~~~~~~

The father went away for a very long time without any other contact,

other than writing each other back and forth,

While she's forced to try to move on with her life for her and her baby's sake.

~~~~~~

She's trying so hard to remember all the good time's they once shared,

before he got locked up and all the promise's that were made,

before  the hardship of being a single mom came along.

~~~~~~

Deep down inside she knows that he will be home soon,

so she tries to keep her faith and not worry so much about him being away,

and not being able to see him or even kiss him goodnight.

~~~~~~

Thing's aren't what they use to be anymore,

she has not slept since the night he had to go away,

leaving her and their unborn child,

and only God knows how long that may be.

~~~~~~

She tries not to worry or think about all the bad time's they have been through,

and what all has happened since the day he's been in that hell hole ,

but at night, it get's harder for her to forget him and move on with her life.

~~~~~~

People keep telling her how she need's to move on with her life,

and worry about her and the baby as she tries so hard to ignore what she's being told, because she knows everything will be okay when he's back home.

~~~~~~

She wonder's how thing's will be when their baby is born,

and if he never arrives back home until ten or fifteen year's later,

how their child will react when he or she meets their dad for the first time?

~~~~~~~

She still remembers the night it all took place when she begged him not to leave that night,

his word's saying he would be back in 30 minute's and that he loves her.

as he  kisses her holding her so close that his scent lingers still in her mind.

~~~~~~~

Now she's left all alone with nobody who actually cares,

or understands what she's going through or how this will affect their unborn child,

or how her heart is aching worrying if he will ever come back and love them forever.
