I have seen many waters
Pass under this bridge
I have lived through emotional hurdles
And have stood as these eyes flood
Why does it always sting before they pass?
II
Gone are those who were taken in classrooms
Gone are those who were caged for monies
Gone are those who thought like fools;
Wanting to claim their obsession for love
Now here stands one with no memory for her keep
Soft green hearts falling in awe
III
When the bright futures fall into the dark
While their winds sail into the heavens
I have no mouth
And I have no hands
I would have cursed for time to backfire
IV
Little girls forming little beings
Little girls preparing to be little mamas
I cry for you
For now I cry for you
And I pray for forgiveness for not being enough inspiration
As you fall like rain under the dirty bridge

It is incredibly sad to see young girls become young mothers long before they have ever had the opportunity to live. They have no idea how much harder they have made their lives and that of their child’s life.

They have not. Just one mistake and they are left futureless. I cried the whole night when I heard of the latest and as I saw her this morning still curled in my bed, I tried to be strong for her but it is hard, still hard and for every girl that falls from my hand I feel the intensity of parenting. Tina it is sad.

It is heart breaking. The cost is so very high and they haven’t a clue until it is too later. My niece became diliberately pregnant with her now husband and it crushed me. The arrogance of youth turns into multiple horrendous life lessons. Niether of them have an education beyond high school, neither of them have proper employment and he is even more immature that she is so they have many hardships ahead. The poor child will suffer the greatest. I had to finally let it go because I could not force her to do the wise thing. Only now has she realized the magnitude of her mistake. They fight all the time and the baby is now 1yr old. I told her she is very blessed to have a healthy child, for the father would not have stuck around otherwise. I could just take her an d shake her until she grows a brain. Try not to own the responsibility for this as everyone makes their own choices but they often are not fond of the consequences. I will pray for this young lady and the wee babe she carries. Gentle hugs to you.

I understand. Its as if all the pain we know they and the child will suffer is felt by us all at once because we love them and wanted so much more for them. You are in my heart, prayers and thoughts.
