ROMANTIC: "I WANT IT ALL" BY MAURICE N CHIADZWA.

She always spoke to me softly

Her facts raised yet her voice spoke lowly

She looked at me blushing away and coyly

I loved it all, I loved that totally 

She said "do you know what I want wholly

What would make my heart so jolly

And invincible as Odessy who ate a moly

"I want to give birth to a bouncing baby boy

I want to raise my girl in perfect love and joy

I want to stand with them both proud and coy

I want to buy them every single type of a toy

I want to give them a life they will forever enjoy

A regiment of lovables is all I want to deploy

I don't want them, or you to ever feel starved...

Yes you, you could never be left uninvolved 

Because I want you to ever feel loved

I want to make loving you my daily craft

And be loved back, like some two way art

I want a hurricane of love that never dies

That whirls me and keeps me in the skies.

I want to be a lady counted among the wise

A woman who pushes her will to the skies

A woman who has her career in mind

Who makes a difference with her own grind

Who leads and pulls up those left behind

I want to pour on the world, my will

I want to feed and satisfy my zeal.

The love, the family, the career: that life, I want it all!"
