A Growing Life, a Growing Love

 

She lies on the bed staring at her ceiling

Like a corps unmoved and almost breathless

Her face full of fear and worry

She doesn’t know how to tell him what has happened

She wishes she didn’t know how it happened

Oh that wonderful night

He made her feel like a star in the heavens

Like a precious flower that is to be untouched by a winter chill

And now she looks down to realize that night shouldn’t have happened

It now grows in her abdomen without pause

She doesn’t know how to tell her family or friends

She knows for sure that it was love that happened that night

And it’s love that’s growing inside her

She knows she’s young yet

But maybe God meant it to be time for the lovers

She knows all too well her family and friends will be disappointed

But she knows he will love her still

He will forever love her and forever be by her side

Hopefully in time things work out with time.
