BELATED BIRTHDAY BLUES
I never asked to be in this place
I only asked for a son to raise
The place where I am
It’s not all that fun
Caught between
Wanting a man
And being a mom
You have no reason
To feel guilt or shame
You don’t have
Those feelings now
But I fear you will
Some day
I love you more
Than any man on earth
You are my son
God gave me you
But now I’m thirty
And feeling more
At a loss
Wondering when
Mister right will come along
I know that you are young
But I fear the day
When someone comes my way
Will you love him
Or chase him away
Will he love us both
Or want you out of the way?
I know not the answers
To the things that I ask
For now I will leave it all
In God’s hands
