Didn't Ask For They're boxer boys they play with toys I spank their buns and feed them crumbs I make them laugh they make me cry They want for love I wonder why. I didn't dream, I didn't pray I didn't ask for them anyway But they are mine and mine to keep entertain, feed, train, and put to sleep. Mom grow up and face the fact you can't have your old life back You'd miss them so, you'd go insane so what is worse, this or that pain? Couldn't have ever given birth if not for those two kids first Wouldn't have held my own newborn smelled the sweet little head, bonded, nursed. Mother lioness would never awaken to fiercely defend her cubs; to walk alone, learn to be strong, overcome the insults and snubs. They are mine; they're all I've got Didn't mean to complain, make it sound like strife I made them, bore them with my body and they're my job, resonsibility, and life. Or a part of my life; there's always room for more but till confusion's resolved & under control who'll believe I can be trusted with more than this lot in life, independence as goal? Did that, so now to soccer and art class wrestling, camping, biking and scouts breaking up fights, teaching respect day after day after year after year voiding our mutual doubts. PamEhli/2001 |
