do you want me?
am I worth the effort and the cost?
am I worth the sacrifice of things you love?
would you surrender freedoms,
passions, joys—
to purchase meals and clothes
and children’s toys?
or would you let me go at your first chance—
push me off on someone else, and run
into the waiting arms of your life’s plan
from before your daughter came along?
