Immortality

I never had a child
No offspring sprang from my womb
It just never happened that way
Between my husband and me we were doomed

We worked too hard
We partied when the night
Was young and then old
No matter what it always ended in a fight

A while ago I saw and old lady
Hahaha that lady was me
I knew right then and there
The true meaning of longevity

It’s the science behind genetics
The truth of immortality
It is in the offspring
Our genetic vitality

Now it is way too late
I’m afraid I’ve been altered
Involuntary sterilized
My body finally faltered

Some people had a child
Some people had quite a few
Some people lost a child
F-uck they really paid their due

So now I understand
No I don’t, no I can’t
I never had a child
'Cause I was not meant

Some people had quite a few
Some people lost a child
F-uck they really paid ....and that was no stew...I am telling you....rather be without a child ....than be without the one you had for a while....nothing compares with that kind of pain my love
Love

You leave the presence of something missed and you look at it and then say oh well; that's life. And it is ... sometimes we have no control over events and why something did not happen. Sometimes it just happens. Bill
