Nothing For My Arms To Hold

			           Fireworks, Picnics,
			           Cushioned on a lawn chair
			           The parade marches by,  I've
			           Nothing for my arms to hold.

			           Hot and sweaty
			           Laying by the pool
			           Watching children swim,  I've
			           Nothing for my arms to hold.

			           Going shopping with my boy
			           Pushing the cart, meeting
			           Friends at the mart, I've
			           Nothing for my arms to hold.

			           People look twice, see my
			           New form, inquire how I'm
			           Doing since the baby was...I've
			           Nothing for my arms to hold.

			           Oh it's just as well they say
			           Don't you think twice just try
			           Again, oh not baptised you say.  I've
			           Nothing for my arms to hold.

			           The boy assumes a sister he's got
			           I remind him heaven's a one
			           Way stop- but still  I've
			           Nothing for my arms to hold.

			           Tears fall, leaves too
			           The bus picks up another child.
			           Listless, I wait such a long while.
			           Still nothing for my arms to hold.

			           Christmas comes, holiday cheer
			           I don't know why I can't 
			           Get into it this year.  I've
			           Nothing for my arms to hold.

			           Happy New Year!  Maybe
			           For you I say, I can't
			           Think of anything pleasant today.  I've
			           Nothing for my arms to hold.

			           Finally I'm busy, finally alive
			           Even though sorrows' buried
			           Deep inside and  I've
			           Nothing for my arms to hold.

			           Months pass by months
			           I look like a blimp, scared, so
			           Scared anew that- I'll
			           Have nothing for my arms to hold.

			           False alarms, second trips, this
			           Thing's dragging out and I think
			           I'll be sick but- Oh,  oh,
			           Finally.  I've something for 
			           My arms to hold.
