Baby boy



Bore a child in pain and sorrow
Scared of how she'll face tomorrow
Her hope declined, her faith will follow
Oh baby boy, mom's purse was hollow

Fell for flirts and false attractions
Lust for him and thus consented
Took a pair for he's conception
Baby boy as mom's correction

He said forever and took a while
For once a man so feared a child
One yet unborn, dad traveled out
Poor baby boy shall not know why

Her father's wrath befell her side
He no longer wanted her nearby
Deafed his ears from daughter's cry
This baby boy's not grandpa's pride

She bore her son one lonely night
Poor baby boy could not survive
She harkened not to Dad and hence
Dead baby boy- mom's consequence
