"I'm pregnant."

All blame, all focus, is on the father who might be absent,

Distant,

Could stay around but he doesn't.

And when he does, he gets special judgment.





A mother is expected to stick around,

Unrewarded, uncrowned.

But when the daddy is unwound,

On the rebound,

He's dismissed without a sound.





It takes little to be a mom, everything to be a mother.

The one that’s given no credit for sticking around forever.

Let me ask you this, and I want an answer:

Men get more credit for being a father than a woman a mother, where’s the error?
