It was all they ever wanted: Boy meets girl Boy married girl And the love in their hearts grew A baby son was born But quickly passed away The tears they shed passed In the news of a new baby girl With her lucious brown hair And pretty blue eyes They knew God would send another baby boy For that perfect family With the black lab and the house on the hill With their perfect shiny cars parked All along the streets The great news came again They were expecting again October 11th of 1982 Everything was so perfect It would be a boy to complete the family But to all of their dismay I was born a girl
Reason for writing:
My family only wanted 2 children: a boy and girl. If the first born wouldn't have passed away as a baby, they wouldn't have had me. Sometimes I feel like the "family dissapointment" because I was born a female. Kinda crappy.
Birth sign: Libra
