I Need To Know

I need to know How could you just get up and leave Four young children alone to grieve I need to know How could you go to sleep at night While your children lie awake with fright I need to know How could you sit in your home and eat Knowing your children lives were incomplete I need to know When you were going out having a good time Were you worried what was happening in mine I need to know When you sat in your cozy home Did you think of us all alone I need to know Now that you are getting old Sat alone feeling cold Do you have any regrets? Do you sit and fret? Of what life now holds for you Now your life is nearly through When your judgement day finally comes What are you going to tell God mum? You made a mistake you did wrong? Why did it have to take you so long? To realize the suffering you put your children through But there is no one else to blame but you I need to know
