LOVE MORE THAN THE FOUR LETTERS

RIGHT TO BE LOVED

Your approach to quality of life most times is an indication of how you will perceive what is to be treasured and handled with utmost care. If your disposition towards intangible things of great worth is casual, then there is little or no further expectation as to what your personal values will revolve round. 

Every child is special in their own way, they are great treasures for every one that has a deep understanding towards what intangible worth like joy, hope and LOVE really means. Irrespective of the condition around the birth of a child, it is never a justification to be cruel to them.

It is not fair to neglect them even if you work so hard to earn a living to provide for them, neither is it fair enough to lament over every hardship you experience in their presence.  That financial times are so hard on you is not enough reason to deny them the right to be loved like every other children, or made to join the labour force to support you, thereby depriving them of their right to education and healthy life.  

Every Child deserve the right to know what LOVE is, learn and thrive in an environment filled with sincere support and care. 

 

ONLY IF SHE HAD KNOWN......

She is out alone on the street,

with a baby to fend for.

She was pushed out of home,

because she got impregnated as a teenage secondary school girl.

She has committed the unimaginable act,

she bent in to pressure from her peers.
she knew nothing about assertiveness and will,

She tried out what her peers refer to as the real deal,
and got trapped in the act.

She tried to ask  her parent about  sex,

but never got an answer.

No one was willing to tell her the needful in her home,

no one told her about risky sexual behaviour and its ugly consequences.

She finally got people to talk to her about the forbidden topic,

her boyfriend , peers and celebrities on social media,

proudly supported by free sex materials flying around her school environment,

she finally succumbed to pressure from peers,

just to get off the list of naive and weak girls.

she got caught up and had an unintended pregnancy.

Only if she had gotten right information from her own home, 

she would have escaped making the biggest mistake of her life.

She would have still remained in school to complete her education,

She would have had an intuition of the consequences

and not become a victim,

She would have become an advocate to her peers.

had she gotten it right from the beginning 

or had a good foundation on sexual  and reproductive health.

But her only hope now is getting a means of livelihood to sustain herself and baby,

so she can later gather the pieces of her life back,

fulfil her dreams of becoming an advocate

for women right to a better and healthy sexual life.
