My Baby

Infant crying in the night
Restless mother can't sleep so tight
Her life of ease taken away
By just one of those simple mistakes 

Dirty diapers in a bag
Now all she can afford is dirty rags 
Tears have fallen so many nights
Only after she turns out the light

So strong, she tries to make in life 
But for a teenage mother the load isn't so light
Pushing and pulling never a rest
Always feeling she is to fail the test
