The Life I Would Have Lived
The Life I Would Have Lived
Oh, mommy, mommy, God said on the day that I
was born, He had picked me out just for you,
and as I got a little bit older I was to help you with what
you were called in life to do.
Oh, yes, as just a baby I would have fussed and giggled
sometimes at feeding times on your lap,
and I might have chosen to play a while
when I was to sleep though you had laid me down for my nap.
My first birthday you would have been so happy
as you held me close up on your knees,
and the family to, would have laughed and laughed out loud
when they heard me ask you, “Mommy, more cake, mommy please”!
Then when it came to learn to ride my bike
why you’d be running right along at my side,
making sure I wouldn’t get hurt or fall
all because of your love and motherly pride.
The day I was to start attending my little school
you would have just broken down and cried,
because our home now would be so much more lonely
since I would not be so close to your side.
As I got into “Junior High and High School” my grades,
why they would be at the top of my class,
then I found out I was meant to have been a research Doctor
because the Lord told me when Him, I asked.
I would have married the man of my dreams
and I was to have bore you three wonderful loving grandsons,
who would have laughed and adored you with so much love
that if you weighed it, it would have been a ton.
All this mommy would have been my life
but you chose that I would never on this earth be,
instead you let them take me from your womb
and I was stamped rejected so my God brought me back to Him for all eternity.
