I'm not ready

I'm not ready for kids
     Not ready to hand over my house
     To the mess and the grime and the slime of
          kids.
     Or to quit climbing my mountains
     To spend my time on
          kids.
     Not ready to lose my relationship
     In the stress and the hurry and hustle of
          kids.
     I'm not ready for the responsibility of
          kids,
     Or to lose myself for
          kids.
I'm not ready for kids.
     Not ready to fill my house with the
     Tears and giggles and hugs of
          kids.
     Not ready to be amazed at every
     car or dog or lamppost like
          kids,
     Or to watch my husband bloom into Dad
     when he's with our
          kids.
     I'm not ready to become a new
     a better person for my
          kids.
I'm not ready for kids
But tell me, who is?
