The Honeymoon ISN'T Over....Six Months Later

by Michelle   Jan 27, 2004


Hi All...I asked Timothy if he would mind that I kinda" borrow his He/She idea for these poems...it just sort of happened...the first one is The Happiest Day of My Life..and the second is Honeymoon On the Beach..and now this one...I hope you enjoy it...Michelle :)

Now it's six months later back at home,
We've just had our first real fight
I couldn't eat and couldn't sleep
I tossed and turned all night.
He didn't do not one thing wrong
But still I lashed out (oh meg..!)
What will be his reaction when I say
"We're going to have a baby Craig!"
There's no one I would have rather wanted
For the father of my child
Anything I ask of him
He goes the extra mile.
But the bills are piling up
Always some new one to pay...
We didn't plan for this right now...
Oh God, what will he say?
He's been the perfect husband,
I've tried to be a doting wife,
No one could ask for more
Happiness in just one life.
To make matters that much worse,
It's his birthday today,
He turned 34 this afternoon
It wasn't supposed to be this way.
The cake is cooling on the counter
I'm still deciding what to say
Then suddenly it hits me...
What better time than now..today??
He walks in from outside
Looking tired and confused
But the love I still see shining there
I know I'll never lose.
My love for him forbids pride,
So I go to him and say
Sweetheart, I'm so sorry
For how I've been acting all day.
Come and see your birthday cake
That I baked just for you...
He eyes scan the pink rosebuds
And writing there in blue...
Then he focuses on "Happy Birthday Daddy"
And knowing dawns in his eyes
He turns slowly to me
With a gaze of shocked surprise...
Do you really mean it??
We're going to have a child??
The he picked me up, twirled me around,
And OH, the way he smiled!!!
How long have you known?
Why didn't you tell me before??
Then his expression grew concerned...
Honey, you'll have to take care even more...
But..but......the BILLS! I stammered
Money's always so tight
Oh Darling, just don't worry about that...
Everything will be alright.
And as he uttered these four words
My whole world fell back into place
I looked into his eyes,
Stepped into his embrace...
And as he gently placed his hand upon my belly,
Surrounded me with his love,
I silently offered thanks to God,
For sending me this man from up above.
