Do I Deserve This?

 

Five months pregnant and all alone

What did I do to deserve this?

They place him on my chest

Still you are not there

Three months old

A call from your sister

Six months old, a divorce

In his young life you come and go

Whenever convenient for you

I a mother and father am

Alone I work and provide

He says ma ma and I miss it

Remarry, over in a year

What did I do to deserve this?

Alone I carry the fears of parenting

I struggle and fight

Its been a year, no word from you

He asks for daddy

Through tears he can't see

I do my best to explain

Too young to understand

Do you ever understand at any age?

What did I do to deserve this?

He will be seven soon

A new man in our life

Someone to share the load

Be the daddy, a mommy can't be

Supports us both

With undying love

What did I do to deserve this?
