((((...Ripples))))

There was this story
I heard sometime back
that stirred a bit of emotions.

The daughter, who
not so long ago,
was still wearing
her long jump suit
babbling her first words

Came to sit by the mother
One evening to tell her
that she was pregnant.

"What would you do, mama,
If it were me?" mine asked...
I thought for a while...
& told her the emotions
I went through when
I read that story.

There will be some
scolding, nagging...
Many "Why didn't you....s"
"...& I still love you very much..."

I think I need to assure my baby,
get the frustration
out of my system
Before I can handle the rest.

Then we would sit down
to decide where
to have the baby
How to live on what we have
How my daughter would
continue with her education
& where do we go
From here.

We may explore
the possibility of
putting the child up for
adoption...

Only if she wants to
consider it...
Later on...

For the present moment
she needs to know
Above all else

She's much loved.

That's a constant
which will never change
Period.
