First of all we're given life
I ask myself, for why?
We live a life, sometimes short
And then we go and die!
At baby stage we gurgle
Look cute and so appealing
But if we want our little way
You'll hear us loudly squealing
Then along comes toddler stage
Mothers patience really tried
Right now she's probably thinking
‘I want to run away and hide'
Now I'm five its time for school
My uniform looks neat
Mum points to me and proudly says
Aww doesn't she look sweet
Its costing mum a fortune
I grow out of clothes so fast
She buys me lovely new ones
And hopes that they will last
Moving up to high school
I'm almost in my teens
I really need to go and buy
Some pimple and spot creams

Upon my skinny chest
By now I have realised
These are my new breasts
I'm feeling really moody
I shout and slam the doors
All because my dearest mother
