A childs dream
when i was young and you were old
i thought the world was made of gold
and life could spin it's silver thread
around the thoughts in side my head
i was young and knew it all
like cinderella at her ball
i thought that i would get the chance
to meet my prince and dance the dance
with maids to grant my every wish
and chefs to cook my favorite dish
and oh my love i never knew
that riches came from loving you
at seventeen i had it all
pride had'nt come before the fall
i still believed that dreams came true
i hardy ever looked at you
at eighteen on my wedding day
you smiled at me i looked away
patiently you took your turn
behind the lessons i must learn
i wore the finest silk and lace
as lines appeared on your face
at twenty one i bore his child
he drank alot becoming wild
along the busy streets we'd roam
searching pubs to bring him home
and everytime he spilled his seed
another hungry mouth to feed
another time another place
another bruise upon my face
another promise from his lips
another greasy plate of chips
another soap line on the telly
another child inside my belly
hungry kids with snotty noses
beds no longer lined with roses
at twenty six i knocked your door
not sure what i was looking for
but ready now to admit defeat
with six young children at my feet
your door and heart were opened wide
you beckoned me to come inside
with tears streaming down my face
i fell into your warm embrace
child of mine you whispered low
my darling i have missed you so
mingled kisses mingled tears
as fate rolled back the time and years
my mammy standing at her gate
all her anger all her hate
spilling out her rage and fears
into eager little ears
all those years i wasted in hating
all that time you were patiently waiting
i'm not so young now my baby is seven
God called you home to his mansion in heaven
my daddy i'm a big girl now
and i'm sorry i was such a cow
hating you was such a crime
and i wasted so much precious time
