What Is This Life Worth?

That little beating heart,
That tiny precious being,
That life that could be.

Who makes the decision,
Who takes responsibility,
Who breathes life into thee?

What makes you ready,
What makes you worthy,
What makes this life worth it?

Can you be a single parent,
Can you give everything up,
Can you do what needs to be done?

When are you prepared,
When does it end,
When do you know this is the best?

Does he have the right,
Does he have the strength,
Does she tell him in the end?

Do they know,
Do they see,
Do they realise she's hiding this from everybody?

Can she survive,
Can she thrive,
Can she feed throughout the night?

Should she go,
Should she stay,
Should she throw this life away?

Does she tell,
Does she lie,
Does she leave it to pass by?

Time is tight,
Time is unforgiving,
Time is the only thing she's loosing.
