“Mom….   I’m Pregnant!”

From the time I held my baby

in my arms…

I made a vow to “protect her from all harm.”

She’s been a wonderful bundle of joy…

And has been a gift for us to enjoy.

She’s been the focus of much of out attention,

Trying to provide for her

“timely” correction.

As a father, many thoughts entered my mind…

I wanted to be attentive to her,

patient and kind.

As she would go through

her teenage years…

I thought of what perhaps is a parent’s  #1 “fear.”

Then one day, “Mom I’m pregnant” were spoken.

At first, my heart was sad and “broken.”

“I didn’t raise her to be “crazy and wild…”

“How could this happen to a wonderful child?”

I realized that in spite of everything

 parent’s will do.

There’s no telling what their

children will go through.

I gave her a hug and all of the

 support  I could give…

Everything she’s been through…

 God will forgive!

With all that has happened in her life…

One day she’ll make someone a wonderful wife!

Dear Lord Please help my daughter to see...

How much of a blessing to

her mother and me!
