this poem was written when i was thinking back one day at how fast my children are growing up and how tough the world is now for teenagers to grow up in.

ITS A SHAME THAT NOW A DAY

WE HAVE TO BE SO AFRAID

HOW FAST CHILDREN ARE GROWING UP

AND STARTING TO FALL IN LOVE

PARENTS NEVER HAVE RELIEF

FROM THE WORRY A DESIESE

WILL MAKE HER LOOK BACK AND SAY

I WISH I LOVED A DIFFERENT WAY

EVERY TIME THAT I WAS WITH

SOMEONE WHO COULD MAKE ME SICK

YOU TRY TO MAKE HER REALIZE

TO BE CAREFUL WITH HER LIFE

BY STRONG WARNINGS EVERY DAY

HOPING THE WORDS THAT YOU SAY

WILL STICK IN HER STUBBORN HEAD

EVERY TIME SHE LAYS IN BED

BECAUSE THERES SWEET TALKING LOVERS

WHO ARE NOTHING MORE THAN PLAYERS

FALSIFYING THEIR AFFECTION

WHICH LEADS TO A DEADLY INFECTION

THIS SITUATION SOON ARISES

LEAVING HER HEART TO DECIDING

IF THIS LOVES ENOUGH TO STAY

OR SHOULD SHE JUST WALK AWAY

THE DECISION THAT SHE MAKES

LEADS TO HER GREATEST MISTAKE

WHEN SHE FAILS HER BIGGEST TEST

HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX

WITH SOMEONE WHO MAKES IT SEEM

THIS LOVE IS MORE THAN JUST A DREAM

BUT ITS SOON A BAD NIGHTMARE

WITH THE AIDS HES GIVEN HER
