9 Months to Eternity (Life's Turn)

It can start from a night of passion,

or from a few moments of forced torment.

Pro-Life or Pro-Choice

end a beginning

or 9 months until the begining ends

It begins with a bundle of joy coming out a mess of blood,

and over a lifetime who knows what it shall become.

Never knowing when it might end, just like you never knew the start would come.

School brings a lot to learn,

if you can make the grade.

A new day, and a new age.

Friends start to find you, and you find them.

Not always what we hoped they'd be, but sometimes we get more.

Experiment with this and wonder a little about that.

Why is Susuie such a girl, and why is Steve such a boy?

It could all end with a drunk driver or an accident, but it could continue and be more.

There could be proms and roses,

graduation diplomas, weddings, and the loss of others to explore.

You might bring in new lives of your own to show how this world can be.

You might unfortuantely stay lonely, or end with a divorce or three.

That is life's turn on the wheel of fate.

Long ago you were small and needed love and care from the world.

Now you've aged if the world has let you, and the love and care is needed more.

Life won't last an eternity at least not for you,

but if you follow the turn from face to face,

each another story that will take us from 9months to Eternity.
