Hero's Un-Planned

Ringlet curls Cabbage patch wrists Dependent on me Everyday a new twist Making and breaking Toys, games and knick-knacks Mommy’s little speed racers Mile long smile’s, are all I can crack Yeah, frustration settles From time to time Then I behold their faces And think “wow, those are mine” I try to think back Before mommy-hood On a straight road to nowhere Parties, cigs, all no good I went to see Doc. He said “hey, Randa guess what… …no more parties for you… …at least not for 9 months” Shock sunk in “I’m a mommy-to-be” A whole pack of cigs in the trash, For the baby growing in me Now I’m a mommy of 2 One 10 months and one on year 3 And to tell you the truth I wouldn’t change one thing They straightened me up hair to toe No other could understand How I thank them so My hero’s un-planned Copyright © Miranda Lambert Written: 6/21/2011 For “My Children” Contest
