Babies Are Life's Reward

Life's Meaning.

My boy called me one quiet day,

Announcing a baby on the way,
I was surprised at the news,
There were no words expressing blues.

Asking what the options would be, 
We want to raise it both of we,
That is fine and well said,
You must now keep family fed.

Plucking heart strings as a lyre,
Love can set emotions a'fire,
Be so careful what you do,
Decisions effect more than you.

Considering views best he could,
Re-examined where he stood,
We want to raise it she and me,
Although it is the size of a pea,

It indeed is a noble choice.
Unborn children have no voice.
A newborn babe is God's sweet treat,
Reflections of yourself to meet,

Luck and money you will need it ,
As it grows you must feed it.
Along with all the other stuff,
Plus expenses off the cuff,

Then one day you will see,
You will take the place of me.
Hi, Grandpa you will hear,
Then life's meaning will me clear,

All will be good, all will be fine,
The best to come is down the line,
Then when you marry and say I do,
Do all your best, always stay true.

It is important to understand,
The ship you sail must be manned.
