A Mothers Betrayal

Was I planned when you conceived? Its something I would like to believe But the truth is so blatantly clear You didn,t really want me here A burden to you from the day I was born A mother and child bond was never formed My father God bless his heart Became mother and father from the start It was not long before you upped and left Running away from your responsabiltys is what you did best To live a carefree life with no ties Drinking and partying until sunrise Five times,five children,five lives you destroyed But in your mind we were all void Why does God allow people like you to conceive When so many childless couples would love to achieve Having five children all healthy and well But not you everyone around you could tell A moment of fun is all you wanted to feel Having children was not part of the deal A mother is a name that should be earned But this will never be the case where you are concerned You didn,t really want any of us All you were interested in was lust

Dear Alice, I have felt this very pain. Its unbearable. As children our mothers ought to take care of us...but as you said for them a moment's fun is everything. Yes bless papa's heart. So sorry about it all. Take care and God bless. Chitra
