Ode to Adam

In the February of 2008
Adam walked solemnly through his front gate
only 16 and a growing boy still
he was going to fight for our countries free will
and thought he loved me with all his heart
he had joined the army and we had to part
while yelling through tears of anger and sadness
I told him that what he was thinking was madness
leaving me here all alone was wrong
just sitting around listening to sad songs
a few days later I got quite a shock
I was waiting to tell him watching the clock
when the time finally came
and the phone rang
after talking a while I told him the truth
but he avoided the comment and asked about my Bluetooth
I told him again about the baby inside me
this time he accepted and cried with glee
we're having a baby I hope it's a boy
we'll buy a bigger house new clothes and new toys
he was very excited that I could tell
everything was really going very well
till the day he flew home and the plane broke down
it fell into the ocean and everyone drowned
except for my Adam he was still living
and when rescue came they were so giving
now Adam is home and happier than ever
he swore not to leave me or his child not ever
