Tale Of An Unborn Dream

Me and my love; young and fresh
Our hearts melted into each other within weeks
That one night; most special night of her life
We shared her innocence in the most romantic of ways
With an after effect that we both didn't expect

She got pregnant

She was scared and felt alone; I showed her I was here
Not going anywhere; I would stand by all her decisions
She didn't know what to do, I couldn't blame her
So we spent more and more time together thinking
Brainstorming on the future and what to do
We're so young; yet our love was so strong

We weren't ready

We both cried and cried and cried for a few months
As her belly started to swell, we knew the time had come
To tell her parents; we knew they'd hate us both

I came over; the first time

They were furious I was even there; wanted me gone
Couldn't hold her tears as her parents sat us down
She told them she loved me and I loved her very much
Watching them get hot and red, while their eyes rolled

She told them

Her father left the room and her mom told me to go outside
I watched from the window as she hugged her daughter
Her father opened the front door; scolding me with his eyes

He didn't say a word

Her mom calls me into the house; says to stay away a while
She wishes me to say; she can only call me once a day
My heart is breaking, it is for our child's sake

Her mom tells her to keep it

The days and months go by, and I start to visit more often
Her parents despise me but her mom knows I'm a good guy
They feel their family is destroyed because of me
But her mother knows right now it's about the child first
We went to school, studied and went to the doctor together

I was a man

I would never abandon my love; was planning to marry her
Was saving up for the ring at the same time as well
My parents thought I was a waste; but knew I loved her
So what they said didn't matter, they didn't kick me out

Wifey was strong

She took the unsaid verbal attacks from her parents all day
Just to be with me, to raise our child with love and care
That's all that mattered to me and to her; it was difficult
Every day I showed up to visit and care; her mother spoke to me
Never her father, he would eventually speak to her...not me
He hated my background, my skin, my religion; I didn't care
It would still be his grandchild no matter what he thought

He was difficult

Only there to check on her health physically and nothing else
Never wanted to feel the baby kick or talk to us about it
Was disgusted by us, but we couldn't understand why
My actions towards his daughter will prove him wrong

I have plans

My future wife and child would be my priority only
To provide for them and make sure their lives are the best
No family hatred, no nothing; affection of two great parents
Of mixed background; which will be a positive in their life
Experiences from two different worlds and communities

Starting a new life

Proposing before the baby is born; she will be my wife
Continuing our education and raising our child
We will need help; hopefully both parents are there for us
But once we can stand on our own two; we will and be happy
Our child will strive; I promise this on my heart

I love them both
