What About Me

I was told yesterday That someone else will come and forever stay At first, I was a little confused Because I didn't understand the news A few months later, I looked at my mother And thought to myself, 'what's happening to her?' They tell me I can't do this or that with her We don't have fun together anymore, I wish she'd get better Two more months went by Then she was rushed to the hospital with pain and I wasn't told why My dad put me in the car and drove so fast Finally, we reached the hospital at last My dad ran and he ran and he ran He went to the back while I sat with family members and waited patiently not knowing what's at hand After two days of me and dad being alone She was back home This time with someone else And I realize that it will no longer be me by myself In the house they come with a little baby They bypass me and I thought to myself, 'what about me?' Days have gone by And so many people have come, but passed me by I no longer have fun with my mom and dad So I go in my room to be alone and sad The next day, grandma and grandpa came to see the baby Again, I was bypassed But this time I came out and asked "What about me?" Everyone was taken by surprise I repeated myself and sat there and cried They all came running to comfort me And explained to me about the baby And most of all that they didn't forget about me

wow believe it or not even at 60 I remember this feeling. I do want to say as a Mom, I felt jealous of all the attention the baby was getting too! Light & Love
