There has always been the phenomenon where some children bring other children into this world. Many have no place to turn and eventually report their plight to their parents. It is important such parents act responsibly, seek counseling and if they do not see a way to raise these children, give them up for adoption rather than aborting them.
No one can deny
Some children grow up
Rather fast
And there are consequences
To show for it
- – -
Many of these
Have adult bodies
But immature minds
- – -
They may grow up
In homes that are
Puritanical
With no discussion
Of the life cycle
Of the birds and bees
- – -
Many children
Experiment
They will do anything
To please others
And soon find themselves
In hot water
- – -
Many parents on hearing
Their children’s dilemma
Hit the panic button
Yelling and screaming
And may even order
Them to get out of their home
- – -
Some concerned
About the embarrassment
They would face
By family and friends
Think about ways
To conceal the inevitable
- – -
Others go so far
To encourage
Their daughters
To have an abortion
- – -
Life is not cheap
And such abortions
Ought to be discouraged
- – -
If it’s clear
That the best solution
May be, if such persons
Do not want their children
To seek counseling
And put them up for adoption

Parents of such children
Should swallow their pride
Forgive and realize
That we all make mistakes
Some of them major
