Mommy Please Don'T Leave Us

She cried, mommy please don’t leave us 
All alone without you near 
You know that Susie cry’s at night 
As she remembers all those fears 
Just because daddy’s gone 
Doesn’t mean you must go, too 
It just isn’t right mommy 
Plus, what am I supposed to do 
I’m not that good at cooking 
Plus there’s school and other things 
And who’s to say what’s down the road 
And what tomorrow might bring 
Mommy, you can’t leave us 
The county will split us all 
No matter how brave Johnny says he is 
And no matter if he wants to stand tall 
I’m still the oldest 
And I just turned thirteen 
To leave us all alone Mommy 
Would show that you’re just mean 
Mommy, I’m begging you please 
Maybe the doctor’s words were untrue  
You know we just can’t make it alone 
Because I really don’t know what to do 
I know that daddy died today 
But Mommy you can pull through 
That wreck you both were in 
Seems so unreal and untrue 
Mommy, please open your eyes 
And tell me everything will be fine 
And don’t go dying on us Mommy 
Cause the county will draw the line 
Doctor, please don’t say she’s dead 
And we young’uns belong to the state 
And three outstanding citizens 
Will now seal our family’s fate 
I know you think its best this way 
Because it doesn’t concern you 
But if you were in my place 
Doctor, just what would you do? 
Mommy and daddy have been gone three years 
Susie and Johnny are in different homes
I live on the east side of town 
And we only speak on the phone 
It seems they’re slipping away from me 
Their new parents want solace and peace 
They say I must let it go 
And the phone calls must now cease 
I have a family all my own 
A daughter and son have I 
And every now and again 
They ask why their Mommy cries 
There’s no way I could put it in words 
And tell them of years ago 
Simply because they wouldn’t understand 
Because togetherness is all they know 
Someday, somehow, maybe 
I’ll relate to them what went on 
But only when they are older 
And they have children at home
