Children are Hard to Come by (A Poem for Future Parents)

To a child
spoiled by wealth

in the form
of siblings

or the youth
wondering

if their purpose
is parenthood

(and I hope it is)

Do not think
it is an option

like a dish
on a menu list

Half the time
you don’t try
and still get
a surprise

Half the time
you try hard
....and for no
sweet surprise
