A Dad Regrets His Snipping
A dad had a few kids
And said he had enough.
Got himself “snipped”;
Thought he was done.
Tried to make life easy and fun;
Didn’t want to risk another child;
Wanted to put life in the mild
Mode and keep any extras at bay
So to enjoy that easier day
Without those little imps
Crying and making trouble;
He wanted ease on the double!
Well, the wife died
And he married another.
Well, now what about druthers?
She wanted some of her own!
Her choice was to have a kid,
One from her very own womb!
But her man’s power was a tomb;
Couldn’t get that seed to flow
And barrenness she didn’t want to know.
A sad situation it was for them both
But she knew she had taken an oath.
Though she felt she had been deceived
Now, never to be able to conceive.
A tragic situation, indeed.
Can’t think of a child as some weed.
A gift of God in His very image;
Not some menacing piece of sewage!
