Family tree.

NB 1998 (Uk)



A family tree I have started,
Still I feel a bit disheartened.

A tree of my own id love to make,
Though I feel such a heavy heart ache.

Because no children have came yet,
So I still make my self so upset.

A girl called Renae I’d love to bare,
With tons and tons of jet black hair.

A boy called Peter with hair like his dad,
He hasn’t came yet which is why I’m still sad.

But I don’t mind the gender I have,
I just hope and pray it doesn’t drag.

I’d be a good mother and always be there,
Which is why I still find is so unfair.

He’d be a good dad and always play,
Which is why everyday I ask god and pray.

So please god hear me and take the weight off my shoulders
I’d love to be buying pink or blue strollers.
