A Dad Regrets His Snipping

A dad had a few kids And said he had enough. Got himself “snipped”; Thought he was done. Tried to  make life easy and fun; Didn’t want to risk another child; Wanted to put life in the mild Mode and keep any extras at bay So to enjoy that easier day Without those little imps Crying and making trouble; He wanted ease on the double! Well, the wife died And he married another. Well, now what about druthers? She wanted some of her own! Her choice was to have a kid, One from her very own womb! But her man’s power was a tomb; Couldn’t get that seed to flow And barrenness  she didn’t want to know. A sad situation it was for them both But she knew she had taken an oath. Though she felt she had been deceived Now, never to be able to conceive. A tragic situation, indeed. Can’t think of a child as some weed. A gift of God in His very image; Not some menacing piece of sewage!
