A woman writes a poem of longing to her husband who is in jail for dealing drugs. She promises to stick by him, and be his forever.

My Baby

© Una R. Deme
You’re my baby
Never maybe
I’m your Wifey
Never might be
And even though your so far away, just want to let you know I’ll be here to stay
You’re in jail
Can’t pay your bail
Your innocence claim failed
Your daughters missin’ you, and her mommy is too
Questions like where’s daddy makes me want to cry
I hold her hand, we try to get by
I can’t just tell her daddy deals drugs
So I just smile at her and give her a hug
I wipe a tear and start thinking about you
Life is so hard living without you
Still I’m there every Monday and Sunday
Wishing you can just up and runaway
4 more years with you behind bars
Damn, I sigh why does life have to be so hard?
