    LITTLE GIRLS INTO YOUNG LADIES

    She's 17
    pigtails in a faded photo
    now a young man's dream
    complains to her friends
    why are you so mean
    never again shall you be a go-between
    with life's harsh reality
    and her dreams

    Oh, how you wish
    to turn back the hands of time
    and search for the giggling girl
    hiding behind the curtain blinds
    yet life marches on
    ignorant of signs

    I know it hurts to see
    you no longer control her destny
    que sera, sera
    what will be shall always be
    unfortunately
    little girls grow into
    young ladies
    eventually

    I know it's impossible
    for a man to understand
    conception
    to carrying
    to childbirth
    to holding a new born's hand
    yet I'm here to be a shoulder

    Cleaning up her room
    her Fortress of Solitude
    in the afternoons
    smiling at prom pictures
    of she so beautiful and her date so dapper
    beneath hip-hop and fashion magazines
    you find a used condom wrapper

    I know it's hurts to see
    you no longer control her destiny
    que sera, sera
    what will be shall always be
    unfortunalety
    little girls grow into
    young ladies
    eventually

    Waiting for her to come home
    she walks in oblivious to the world
    chatting on her I-Phone
    at the door you hug her
    and she's suprised
    soon the tears she shed
    mirror those falling from your eyes

    Go on and have a talk
    take the dog to the park
    for a nice long walk
    after all
    she is a big girl now
    from this point on she needs
    a role model to show her how
    to be a Lady

    I know it hurts to see
    you no longer control her destiny
    que sera, sera
    what will be shall always be
    unfortunately
    little girls grow into
    young ladies
    eventually
