As
the
ball
turned
slowly
blue,
I could
only
sit
and
stare;
A
tear
crept
slowly
down
my
cheek,
Somehow
it
wasn't
fair.
I
thought
for
a
while
about
the
future,
As
I
said
good-bye
to
a
plan;
But then my mind began to picture,
A son who grows to be a man.
The
joy slowly began to grow,
As
I
thought
of
family,
friends
and
fun
I could see the looks of their faces,
When I finally had a son.
And
now as the day grows close,
And
I
wonder
if
I'm
right;
A
son
would
be
a
grand
thing,
But a girl would be all right.
As
I picture a day without babes,
Or
a
smile
for
me
he'd
grant;
With joy I soon begin to see,
I'd rather be 40 and pregnant.
