I Wonder If? Poem by Adrienne Clark Strachn

I wonder if I never left,
would things had been different
would the days be as cold as a brisk winter day
would their have been snow showers on a Christmas Day.
Would santa come thru the chimney and not left thru the door.
On my birthday, would there be a cake
signed with love, from you
now i celebrate today by myself
No cards remembering the day.
When i left, my seed was in your belly
growing, each month without me
thoughts of the labor pains you will experience, alone
while delivering my child.
while i won't be hearing your screams or counting while you breathe
I will share tears, hours later whether it's my boy or girl
I wonder, if you knew I was happy once
you choose to stay single yet have kids
Independent woman you called yourself
and I became the sorry man.
I'll call you for visiting rights
If I can come back sometimes
to the house we once shared.
Ms. Independent
You in your place now, I, in mines
I wonder, how we gonna see this thru
I wonder.......
