A Mother's Dilemma

Life isn't what it always seem to be The hardship the commitment and the diversity Can turn a boy into a man and a man into a monster Choices to be made regrets of a mother who has seen things a bit too late Thinking should she relocate or have faith What power can she demonstrate No father around to have a manly talk with her son Wanting to know why did he take up a gun Who was the moon that blocked his sun A child's cry could be far from understanding A mother words could be heart broken Especially when its not properly spoken A token of friendship is all we need To stray from the path our family had seen Hard work is what a mother think is right But affection is what a child have in sight So they turn to violence to maintain they silence Skipping school and smoking weed is what they call living For a delinquent in time it'll be they misgivings And for a mother in the end it'll be a black cloud endless tears and a dress that would be full of regrets for centuries
