Thrown Away

You gave me the news today
Told me to leave and stay away

To error is human is what they say
It's to bad you don't see it this way

Yes you decided to throw me away
Because I don't see everything your way

You don't know how I feel, but you hope I agree
That you should have nothing more to do with me

So, once again I totally must disagree
Even though you want nothing to do with me

A mother's love you can't throw away
I'll love you my daughter till my dying day

Linda Barr Date: 9/8/2012 6:30:00 PM This is so true. I could see myself in the words of the rhyme. It's been nearly thirty years since that fateful day when my daughter walked away. The causes alive will aways be with me, just below the surface. The mistake was was mine, a judgement call I made, and for this I have paid. Login to Reply
