Regrets…

hush little baby

19 weeks ago I invited you into my world

don’t say a word

into my bed

mama’s gonna buy you a mocking bird

and then this little miracle happened

if that mocking bird don’t sing

this baby that I never believed was meant to be mine

mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring

is going to be mine

and if that diamond ring turns brass

but you don’t want this

mama’s gonna buy you a looking glass

you don’t want to be a father

and if that looking glass gets broke

you don’t want to know the joy growing inside me

mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat

but I will be ok

and if that billy goat won’t pull

I will love enough for the both of us

mama’s gonna buy you a cart and bull

I will nurture

and if that cart and bull turn over

I will raise

mama’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover

I will care for you

and if that dog named Rover don’t bark

and someday I will you a story

mama’s gonna buy you a horse and cart

of how you came to be in my life

and if that horse and cart fall down

I will tell you a story

you’ll still be the sweetest baby in town

of a man and a woman who produced the miracle

that is you
