Teens Poem by Dianna Nally

A teen in love is so vulnerable
They think every guy is Mr. Right
They date awhile, two or three dates
Then your up with them crying all night.




'Ma ma he swore to me that our love was real.'
He said we would be together forever.
But I wouldn't let him touch me mom
Now he doesn't want anything to do with me what so ever.

So mom said, ' I know my sweet'
Kid's don't understand what love really is.
They kiss, and touch and to them that's love
All the parents say is, ' kids will be kids.'

A few years down the road the girl become pregnant
Her parents yell and scream and blame
Another baby raising a baby, another childhood lost.
And the boy doesn't want the baby to have his last name.

How in the world is this child going to raise
a child and go to school?
She doesn't want to put it up for adoption
To her that would be cruel.

So yet another grandma raises a grandchild
She will do it for her daughter's sake
She knows she will have to do it alone
Because like most kids her daughter won't partake.

This is happening so often these day's.
What's a grandma to do?
