Mommy

Oh mommy I want to bring you joy
Whether I'm a pink girl or a blue boy
I want to give you more than you've gotten
I want to be more than forgotten

Because I could show you my first steps
Swim to the greatest depths
I could paint a masterpiece that would astound
When I start to speak I could sound profound
I could shoot out across space passing star after star
I could run great distances short and far
I could invent love without fear
I could be on a Baseball Fleer
I could sing and give people smiles
Act great for I could dance down the aisle
I could love you more than you ever dreamed
I could make you the proudest mommy the world has ever seen
I could eat fish in Japan or send you gifts from France
Please mommy, just give me a chance
Let me show you what I've got
Let me show you what you've sought
To love and be loved how great that would be
Oh please let me show you the potential of me

Or would you rather not think or care
So you just remove me for I'm not fair
I was your mistake
A life for you to take
Without a moment of heart
You would end me before I start
How does that make you at all good
How is this something that could be misunderstood
It is so black and white
How could you give me up without a fight
You could shove me out and remove
Because I ruined your perfect groove
And if you do, this day you should not forget...my beginning and my end
The day you, mommy, decided not to be my friend
