Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Better for Momma

I knew my Momma wondered why

My Daddy left us all alone.

So often I heard Momma say

She was forced to be on her own.

Her family and friends shunned her,

When they found out she carried me.

I felt her pain and fear for sure.

And I wondered how my Daddy

Could hurt Momma in such a way.

Time came for me one early morn.

I knew it better I not stay,

And so I chose to be stillborn. 

Last thing I heard was Momma cryin'.

But time will heal her from my dyin'.
