Two Girls

Two girls, both fifteen

To one life is kind, to the other life is mean

The first is an average girl, going out and having fun

The second girl is pregnant, learning to raise a little one.

One goes shopping, she can't wait for the dance

The other cries herself to sleep, praying for a second chance.

The first girl is a size zero and has a beautiful smile

The second doesn't feel pretty, she shops in the maternity

aisle.

One gets dressed up, it's finally prom night

The other heads to the hospital to put up a fight.

The first girl has fun, she dances night till day

The second makes a decision, she'll give her baby girl away.

One girl goes to bed after talking on the phone

The other won't sleep until Lacey has a good home.

Seasons change and years go by,

It's amazing how fast the time can fly.

One girl raises a family and directs the kindergarten play

One thinks about her baby and wonders, "Where is she?

Is she okay?"

The first girl has all she ever dreamed of and lives with no

regrets

The second's past still haunts her, she tries but can't

forget.
