My Life
The path I took I did not choose
but mother said that I would lose
For the boy I loved she did not like
so she made me take another path
I was just sixteen and a happy girl
knew very little of the outside world
So when my mother spoke to me
I listened to what she said you see
A man came by and shattered my world
said to mom I'm going to marry that girl
Mom and this fellow they both had a plan
ten days later had me married to this man
Always so lonely for the true love I had lost
my children grew up not knowing the cost
The tears that I shed when they couldn't see
still yearning for my love that never could to be
But now I am happy and have no more strife
and waiting for another to come into my life
