I got pregnant when I was 17, and I can really relate to this poem. It is very true. But with alot of hard work and support,anything is possiable,I am now 25 my daughter is 7,we've had it hard at times but have made it through,with support from family and friends, she is a straight a student,I am a leasing agent,And my daughter is excited of her new baby sister on the way. What seems to be impossiable at times is possiable if only you give it your all.

I bet alot of teen mothers can really relate to this poem.

Even as a single parent and teenage pregnancy, my life has changed forever. I Love my kids so much. I thought there was nooo way I could do it at 18 single and still in high school.But you can do it. The love you get from your kids is enough.

This poem reminds me about what happened to me 6 months ago. When I found out I was pregnant, but later on to find out that I had a miss carrage.... When I read it the only thing I could do was cry because it made me think.

I could have written these exact words five years ago. What an awesome poem! She put into words what many woman feel at that time in their lives.

i really like this poem alot because i can almost relate to it! my brother and his girlfriend had a gorges baby boy when they were still teenagers. my brother was 17 and his girlfriend was 16.now there 18 and 17 and the baby is so special to all of us.The baby is fixing to turn two. Like the poem says "I'm a child fixing to have a child." well, they are kids trying to rase a kid! GOOD JOB! :)
