I Am Going To Be a Mother

( I AM GOING TO BE A MOTHER )

I face the future
Already planned for me
No nothing for me to expect
There`s nothing to wait and see

For my destiny has been mapped out
I shall have no more youthful days
I shall never feel the thrill again
Of raucous, rebellious ways

I shall rear a child for eighteen years
Maybe even longer
For although I`m still a child myself
I`m going to be a mother
