SELFISH

Selfish little thoughts come running through my head

I never really thought I was selfish when
I used to ask for things when I was a little girl

Then I grew up when my son came into my world
Now my selfish thoughts are not for me but my son

I want to give him everything a mother can give her son
I want him to go to school at be at the top of the game
I want him to go to college to earn that treasured degree
I want him to get married and have a family of his own

I want to be like the mommy
Who has everything to look forward to

I’m selfish for my little man
