True story


My daughter's friend had a secret

To no adult would she tell

She was less that sixteen

Her boy was a dream

Then her belly started to swell

She sought to have an abortion

Out of the state as well

By a man she didn't know

Who would take her to the show

And possible end her own life as well

My daughter couldn't keep a secret

So to her momma she came and cried

I intervened and ended the scene

And gave her a choice

Of the truth or her pride

Because if she chose the position of pride

Then as a mother the truth would have to override

And to her parents I would go and confide

Well needless to say

To chose the right way

And put all doubt of her love aside

And told her mom the what and the why

And today has a child whose right by her side

Some secrets should not be kept

No matter what
