A Forgotten Mother's Grief
Sitting all alone beside her purring pussy cat
An old woman is deeply thinking of her past
Her loving husband was cheerful all day
And "Mom" her gigggling childen would say
He died; they went each to their own life
Daughter to husband and son to wife
Recalling their days, she feels her life's brief
She needs them; now they forget her grief
Why they don't remember her lullabies
She cared for them and got their apologies
She attended to their broken knees
They clung to her like bees are to queens
Her motherly blessing's above her grief
Though they don't now, she'll forgive
Her children who may come anytime
Then her malady gone, she'll be fine.
