Barefoot And Pregnant

Barefoot And Pregnant

A Poem by Deborah Leah Krempa

B arefoot

A nd pregnant

R emembering when I was in the mother's way

E verytime it was the same

F inancial situation

O nly if I knew then what I know now

O h surely things would have been so different

T oo young to realize how expensive it was to raise

 

A  family

N obody could tell me though I had to learn the hard way

D o you know how much it cost?

 

P regnancy is more than just having a baby to love you

R esponsibility is number one

E very two hours or three

G etting up in the middle of the night

N ow it's feeding time again

A nd changing diaper's too

N ice to have a baby

T o hold in responsible loving arms

My goodness, what a lot of work has gone into this post.. the format, the words and all.. wonderful!

I don't have children (yet!) but I've heard how true your thoughts and deeds are and have absolute admiration for you.

Again I hear that all the broken sleep and worry is worth it just to see your darlings when they smile at you or lie sleeping peacefully and allow you a well-deserved break.

Thank you for posting such a delightful post. I don't doubt you just love giving everything you have to your little one(s), knowing you're giving something so very special.

:-)
