i am young and old i wonder what life has in store for me i hear the pattering feet of mini me's i see my face aged with wrinkles, arms full of babies i desire a family i am young and old i pretend to be happy i feel longingly for my future i touch the new skin of my babies feet i worry my children will hate me i cry for the mother i never had i am young and old i understand i still have a life not lived i say i'll love you with every breath i take i dream of the first time you're in my arms i try to be strong for you i hope to be the mother i never had i am young and old
