A Baby
Infant crying in the night,
Restless mother can’t sleep so tight.
Her life of ease taken away,
By just one of those simple mistakes.
Dirty diapers in a bag,
Now all she can afford is dirty rags.
Tears have fallen so many nights,
Only after she turns out the light.
So strong, she tries to make in life,
But for a teenage mother the load isn’t so light.
Pushing and pulling never a rest,
Always feeling she is to fail the test.
