Baby Blues

Some people call me mad

My mates think I'm insane

Cause I am hitting forty

With one child to my name

 

Now dont get me wrong

My son is such my world

But nothing would make me happier

Than holding another child

 

But what can I do

When I am not setteled down

Been a single mum for ten years now

So I want a man to stay around

 

Am I wrong to want this to happen

Do my friends not see

My maternal days are nearly over

This really isn't greed

 

My son wanted a sibling

When he was growing up

For fuck sake he's a teenager now

And cant be dealing with the crap

 

Fair to say

My maternal days have all but gone

But in all honesty

My heart will always long

    ooh.........spooky! I haven't been in here for awhile and have just rid my hacker, finally after 8 months of him stuffing with my mind, to finally feel free enough to get back in here! He has really screwed some of my personal stuff around, and that's all I've got to say about him!
    Love this...because it's real, and I'm a realist... (as if you didn't know...lol) Good to catch up on some of your work again, always a pleasure...
    I also love your new stuff...you have really come a long way, and you just keep getting better! Good luck in this contest...

    I love the picture! I'm an only chid myself and now I'm going on 21 and still wish my mother would've had another child. She never wanted a child to begin with so there was no way she'd have another. It's hard being a single mom. My aunt has two kids and is a single mother and never gets child support. She's barely making it. This was very well written, I can only begin to imagine how you must feel. Good luck to you and your son.

    Well I definately connect with you on this piece!! My 2 children are almost 15 years apart!!! I had my son young and thought I never wanted to do that again.... Until My clock started ticking into overdrive almost 2 years ago.... Now I have a gorgeous daughter and the clock is ticking away again!!!! Getting kind of old to be doing it for a third time but I am still hopeful that it will happen!!! Many blessings to you
