Please watch where you step today
She’s sitting stonily with folded hands
There’s an elephant in the way

You’re pregnant the doctor says with dismay
The reality of it all slows and lands
Please watch where you step today

Her world starts to bump and sway
The doctor’s machine scans and scans
There’s an elephant in the way

Her pain turns into an open display
Uncomfortably, the doctor waits and stands
Please watch where you step today

The doctor vanishes away
My mom she demands
There’s an elephant in the way

Her mother can help in no way
I’m only 15 she misunderstands
Please watch where you step today
There’s an elephant in the way
