When I was a little girl,
Playing house was so much fun.
I’d play with my dolls for hours,
We’d sing and pic-nic all day in the sun.
~
Then I got to old for dolls,
Other things consumed my mind.
My dreams were still of babies,
And the perfect man I’d be with for all times.
~
Soon I was Older my life was about to change,
For a man I did meet.
He wasn’t the man I’ve seen in my dreams,
But he was loving, caring and sweet.
~
Years went by swiftly,
Our lives had crossed many a hurl.
Then it happened, the day came,
I was a mommy of a red haired baby girl.
~
My world was turned upside down,
My life was filled with joy.
Two year later we were surprised,
With an adorable baby boy.
~
My life was full of happiness,
What else could there be?
I had a daughter and a son,
I had a man that truly loved me.
~
Now I am older,
My husband has passed away.
The Children are almost grown,
Not much longer will they stay.
~
My daughter is engaged now,
With a baby on the way.
I know her days are numbered here,
She’ll be the first to stray.
~
My son will soon be seventeen,
With his own life on his mind.
Soon He’ll find his true love,
He won’t be that far behind.
~
So soon I’ll be alone,
For the first times in many years.
As I sit here and think about this,
I have to fight back the tears.
~
With the years to come the older I grow,
As my hair turns white as cotton.
My worst fear in life is to grow old alone,
And to become totally forgotten.
