I Need To Tell You

I need to tell you

my story

it about my life

how I was some one wife.

I need to tell you

my story

how my husband many 

years ago died

and It was upsetting and I cried 

I need to tell you

my story

how I left my home in PA.

and it really hurt to move away.

I need to tell you

my story 

how I became a care taker

of my mother none other.

I need to tell you

my story

about my second life

that I take a lot of pride.

I need to tell you

my story

how I watched my mom suffer

but still had to make time to 

make her supper.

I need to tell you 

my story

how sometimes I felt powerless

but just a simple kiss

gave me strength from my mothers lips.

I need to tell you

my story

about my life

how in 30 year's  time I went from

being some man wife

to being a care taker to my mother

how does this happen?

I just needed to tell you

my story.
