Birthday Blues
37 this Saturday
My expectations come into play
Thinking I'd be in another place
By this time
I've had great Love and great Loss
Been broken down at a heavy cost
No one to pull me back to shore
Drowned the sorrows I couldn't ignore
Worked in the trenches, rescued friends
Still feeling lonely in the end
No little Ones to call my own
A beautiful queen on an empty throne
Pink roses on a table bright
Remind me of a passion slowly dying
Please can't I have just one more try
To have a happy life
