By Cynthia S!. Young woman at the corner!. Ringless hands protect belly swollen with unkept promises!. Searching for Bethlehem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This is the first I've seen, but I like it!. It shows the fear and hope am unwed pregnant woman feels!. It is very short, but concise, which adds alot of power to it!. One change that I thought you needed to make, but now feel is fine is the line "Ringless hands!." I thought well you only have a wedding band on one hand, but then it occurred to me that this could also mean the woman was poor (she could afford no rings)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Excellent poem!.
