If You Had Known

Ma and Pa
You left me
Before I could do anything
At very young age!

When you departed
I didn’t know where you had gone
Ma started, then Pa followed
Lord!!

If only you had known
That your son is awesome
You could have been proud of me
But now I have a few individuals 
Who are proud of me, a few!!

If you could have known
That I’m innovative
Pa, you could have been proud of me
Ma, you could have done something for me

Sometimes I don’t see
	A reason for being here on earth 
	But is there something I can do?
		Follow you??	But someone told me that I have a brighter future ahead
	If I fail, I’m following
	Guide me if you can

If you this ma and pa 
You couldn’t have left me like that!
