Mother

I need you Mother to hold me
To feed me and hold me tight.
I rely on you always to be there
And to be with me day and night.

Mother I wish you’d stop fussing
You always embarrass me
I know you mean well but I wish you would leave
And stop constantly pestering me.

Mother I hate you, how could you
Why are always so cruel
You think you know best, I wish you would leave
You’re treating me like a fool.

Mother I need you please call me
I now have young of my own
I realise how much you tried for me
I’m sorry, I wish I had known.

Mother I miss you, I’m sorry
My best friend from the start
You always loved and you always cared
You’ve left and you’ve broken my heart.
