Ah, pretty flower what promises you bring
I'm a women now, it's time to sing
All ways for an adult are now open to me
There can be nothing better you must agree
Monthly discomfort is small price to pay
For a beautiful baby someday I pray
Life is so good, Life is so great
Wonderful is a woman's monthly fate
Month after month is the eternal cost
Or the human race would soon be lost
Life goes on monthly, year after year
Family grows with children I lovingly rear
I'm doing fine but I'll skip swimming today
I need to go shopping, I'll find a way
It always comes when it's least convenient
Without fear of leakage I could make an achievement
At the worst time there is no cessation
Time to cancel that planned vacation
And the price I pay goes on and on
Monthly I wish this price be gone
When life's pretty flower becomes a flood
Life threatening becomes the hemorrhaging blood
Life's flower is no more for loving gestation
Time for an outpatient endometrial ablation
