College Child, kinda wild
She had her fun and produced a son
Parents said no, baby’s father let go
So she reached for a love that wasn’t so
He said he’d help, but she had to flee
She moved to Cali, carried her life on her sleeve
Mother and child took a train
Hoping for love and life to gain
She had a baby and degree
But there was a future she couldn’t see
She took a chance, gambled it all
Hoping for a life where she could safely fall
Brave, young mother took a chance
Never looked back, not even a glance
She left the snow for a life she didn’t know
So young, she leapt, she let her past go
When she arrived, for a while, love thrived
Things fell into place, and she walked with grace
As baby grew, mama knew
Happiness was to be found somewhere new
Again she tried, and again she cried
Seemed as if every man had lied
She packed her bags, clothes, and toys
Left in the night gripping baby boy
This wasn’t her plan, she had big dreams
But the extended hand wasn’t as it seemed
Her dream became the hand she held
Her life it inspired and compelled
To her boy the hand belonged
Innocent and pure, it kept her strong
What she didn’t know or conceive
Was in herself she had to believe
She was smart, proud, and strong
She needed no help, they’d get along
Love that she sought in a man
She instead found in her son’s hand
The End
