phoenix james - we have kids, please don't shoot lyrics

yesterday
a girl posted on her blog
that she would never ever date or be with
any person who already has children
immediately i felt compelled to write to her
so i did
i wrote
you are definitely not the only one
who feels that way
there are many others
who would say the same for themselves too
but as time passes
and with age
and with more relationship and life experience
our feelings about how important that is
more often than not
change
those same little children
will have all grown up
become independent
and will have left home
and had kids of their own
those people who felt that way
if they’re still single
which very often they remain
depending on how strongly they feel this way
and for how long
tend to change their perspective
the older people get
it becomes more and more likely
that any prospective partners they meet
will have already had children
unless he or she
chooses to seek
outside the school gates
a much younger partner than themselves
they will otherwise
have matured
into just wanting simply to find someone
who loves and cares about them
whom they can be happy with
and with whom they can spend and enjoy
what is left of their life
the fact that someone already has children
becomes somewhat expected
and far less of an issue by such time
some realise and grow into this truth earlier
some later
again, this is dependant
on how passionate they are
about not wanting to be with someone
who already has kids
every time you shoot down a person
just because they have children
you’re possibly shooting down
what could potentially be the love of your life
and after pulling the trigger
you’d never know
it is sad to realise all of this too late
when we’ve become less attractive
less youthful
and much older
and eventually dependant
like those same children ourselves
and end up just living and dying
without anyone
all alone
with nothing but sorrow
and the cold company of our own painful regrets
i thought very much like her when i was younger
but just like any of my friends
i no longer feel that way today
time teaches us all in hindsight
i felt moved to just offer her some food for thought
and a different perspective to consider
something i wish i’d been offered myself
much earlier in life
