Her Belly: Part 7

[R.E.T.S.]

My thoughts have begun to
Swirl around, I hold onto
The hand my wife offers
My white upon her black
And I wonder if there's time
To put our child back

The whole pregnancy
We were so caught up in the joy
Enraptured in the process
Jubilant it was a boy
That neither thought
Of the troubles he'd see
Partially of her
Partially of me

She's pushing and breathing
Her belly, still beautiful
The doctor coaching
Her nails in my cuticles
The pain we both feel
Different, but the same
Thought is running wild
Through both of our brains

"God protect the fruit of her womb"

I wonder...this true to life for you? Or perhaps is there a sistah you fiendin that maybe you've some familial pressures to resist?

Sounds like my parents, inversed, my ma's caucasian.

It's only a concern if the parents make it so, if they can't be a homogenous parental unit. Speaking from experience.

Definitely takes a woman and her life giving abilities to make this as diversifiable as it is. Good job sir.

[R.E.T.S.]

Thanks. Naw, it's actually a young woman I know. Sadly, we wouldn't be able to make it as a couple, due to her religion demanding I convert.

Either way, I believe she's doing pretty well now, but I wrote this with the "what if" in mind.

[Hidden Poetress]

You never cease to amaze me! In my relationship, and subsequent marriage with Wlk, I've had to deal with the ignorance of my mother. (Seriously, the most delusional, narrow-minded woman I've ever known).

Once we had our first son though, she realized that she loved him with no reservation, being tri-racial and all. I like to think that the strength of our marriage, and the love we have for each other, coupled with her realization that I love him more than my life, and if she didn't accept it, then she lost me forever, made her not only open her eyes, but to SEE out of them, and realize that there is only one "race"....human.

Outstanding job, Poet! You are definitely on a roll with this series.

[R.E.T.S.]

Wow. Well, my friend, if that is indeed what happened, praise God! If not... Well, head up. We all have issues and make mistakes- Sometimes the gravest mistake is the one we see five, ten and fifteen years later. In other words... Triviality can end up being enormous, and enormity trivial- But only God has the ability to mend the pain caused by them all.

I'll be praying for ya, man.
