No More Childhood

Laughing, Playing and Singing with the breeze Caring only of ladybugs and why the grass is green Now caring of grades and exams for school No more real living just worrying if collages think you are a fool Now worry of whether you will go into debt If you should file for bankruptcy or not quite yet Worry of marriage and if it is the right guy You feel like it is not but you do not know why Now with children and more worries to bear Worry if you should ground them or if that is not fair Divorce is a worry but is that the right thing You remember how it felt when he gave you the ring Now alone with your children all gone off to make their own way Still more worries about the medical bill and who will pay Alone in the world and about to die Thinking back to the ladybugs and begin to cry
