Heartbreak Envy

Your relationship is through
Don't ever want to see him
Your heart is broken in a million pieces
The light on your world has gone dim

The funny part about your situation
I envy what you're going through
With what I went through with my first love
I'll never have the decisions you do. 

You can start it all over
But this time be no more than friends
You can choose to call him tomorrow
Or make the choice to never see him again. 

I don't have the choice to see him
Not until my days on Earth here are done
His love, his touch, his voice, his kiss
Are all stored in memories of our laughter and our fun. 

I never really got my ending
I'll never know if we'd break up, or if it'd last.
I'll never have that closure you received
I'll never be able to willingly put him in my past. 

So as you cry and mope around, 
My sympathy will still be with you.
However the closure you received with him,
To get that with my first love, there isn't anything I wouldn't do.

Little Sister

You don't listen
To what anyone says
Claim to hate your life
But do nothing to better it
Run around with who you want
Despite your parents' warnings
Blow off your sisters, brother, friends
Every time they offer help
It was all just fun and games
Until you ended up infected
Visited the doctor
Got everything fixed
Thought all was well again
Then came the double line
Pregnant. 

Any color but white
Your parents are against
It's never stopped you
Now, it's growing in you
At a loss for words,
No one knows what to do or say
Always here and willing to help
Just completely disappointed
We told you to use protection
If for anything, your health
But now a baby grows in you
You have a decision to make.

Keep it?
Your parents will disown you
Goodbye home. Goodbye car. Goodbye phone.
Adoption?
Still have to tell your parents. Good bye life.
Could you really give your child away?
Abortion?
Parental consent still needed.
Money you don't have still needed. 
Keep it? Adoption? Abortion?
What's it going to be?

Grow Up Slow

As I hold you in my arms
I see your future in my eyes
You will always be with me
And we will never say our good-byes

I will always be here for you
I'm in this 'til the end
I'll always be around
And I'll always have a hand to lend.

We will fight and we will argue
But that will never change my love
Some times I'll embarrass, but I'll always care
In my eyes you're pure as a dove. 

With tiny little hands and feet
I know you'll grow to be taller than me
I hope for you to dance through this life,
Take every opportunity, and be all you can be.

You will always be my baby
No matter how much you grow.
Although I can't wait to see your accomplishments, 
Promise me you'll grow up slow.
