No road trips with my buddies,
no college in the fall,
no good job over summer;
wouldn’t have the time at all.

No time for friends or dating,
or quiet nights alone.
No further education,
to help make it on my own.

A million sacrifices,
not selfish like before;
just living for my baby,
no 'me time' any more.

An 18-year commitment --
and mommies don’t get breaks.
My teenage years would disappear,
because of my mistakes.

But I’d give every moment,
I’d sacrifice it all,
to hear my baby crying,
or see my baby crawl;

to hold my pregnant belly,
to touch my baby’s face,
to keep baby from heaven,
all safe in my embrace.

The pain you can’t imagine --
broken heart beyond repair.
I’d give up ever moment
to keep from this despair.
