Chapter: 11

Heath :

I look at the women I love

and wonder how she's fallen for a foolish man like me

I was man enough then and things took a turn unforeseen

she said she is with baby

moments like this I'm feeling like a boy it's quite shady

stereotypes say in a single-home family a man's out of the picture putting women to lead

babies requires our sacrifice, time, and they have needs

a deadbeat boyfriend, a deadbeat father drowning in these fears that's who I am isn't it? Once I leave?

she talks about how I'll be a great father

all this pressure she is putting on me and I see us growing farther

I tell her my concerns and she's passing the offering plate

"time is not on our side, and this baby won't wait"

I put her through enough pain more than she can bear

and I'm taking what's plenty left to spare

parents are ready to kick me out the house

she looks to me to provide one and make her my spouse

She'll try to lighten up the moment by asking me who's eyes this child has in getting me on board and ready to submit in this life I now have

i'll force a smile, stay, and commit

life is a story and this our plot twist

like the characters we play in our own stories,

we'll find someway to get through this

Jacqueline :

The demons attempt to cheat, lie, and steal

I've fallen for temptations scheme for his lies came in desirable appeal

his ways allured us in, blinding our vision losing our spiritual power within

why aren't we overcoming, but hearing the rings of chains shackled by sin

demons could wrapped their arms around me

I allowed the temptation to surround me

I was so lost, I was gone, it was I who he came to defeat

my flesh seduced by the bait left for me, and awoke a sinful beast I thought I out beat

God's voice had no clear sound

the look in Heath's eyes disguised in love hidden by lust I was profound

the voice of truth said 'lust' but how can I leave now when I'm bound

this bond between us grew strong

I allowed these demons to have a foothold and they came in to taunt

I had lost without withdraw

I hadn't put up a fight

I'm filthy, dirty, and stained I cannot withstain in God's sight

in marriage it would have meant to be

but the guilt overwhelmingly showed the growth, birth, and soon the death of me

the taste of the forbidden fruit of the things unseen

deceived by the angel and the fool I'm made out to be

I bear in the hurt, & in the womb a growth of an offspring.

Heath & Jacqueline :

God forgive us for the fall and help us rise, before we lose it all

help guide us and deliver us from temptation and evil

for he may have won the battle, but we have not yet won the war

help purify our hearts, and allow us to give this child back to you

even though we may have drifted away, please let us be redeemed and renewed

our child is our gift, and we pray that we may get through our time of adversity

we believe there is power in Christ Jesus, and we are so thankful that he chose to die for our calamity

let us not be hindered and discouraged for our mistakes and remind us there is prosperity

let us face what has become

as you have accepted your daughter and son

when times get tough and our past is reminded by the evildoer

help us to remind him of our's and his future.
