Life would be better I think.
No teachers, doctors, dentists,
or visits to the shrink.
Were it not for the child,
I could have it all.
No nagging, crying, begging,
to play a game or toss a ball.
I would have plenty of time.
For wining, dining, dancing,
While I'm still in my prime.
Were it not for the child,
The house would stay clean.
No clothes, candy wrappers, food,
Hidden in places unseen.
Sounds too good to be true.
No wounds to mend, fights to end,
Yelling till my face turns blue.
Were it not for the child,
There would be little reason.
For Santa, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny,
Passing through each holiday season.
My heart would never know.
The peace, fulfillment, and joy,
That a childs love can bestow.
Were it not for the child,
I would feel so alone.
No laughing, playing, singing,
Racing to answer the phone.
My body would never feel.
A childs touch, hug, kiss,
That even the darkest day can heal.
Were it not for the child,
A subject I cannot consider mild.
For I realize life is but nothing,
Were it not for the child.
