Mums on the phone
Mum was on the phone again when I woke up today,
When I called her name she shouted "go away!"
I just want to play with mum that is all I need,
she's to busy on face book and checking her news feed.
Mum can you play with me I am busy and all alone,
she answered "stop your moaning can't you see I am on the phone"?
Mum your child needs you I am only four,
you tell me off for nagging and sit me on the floor.
you walk me to school with your head in your phone,
I know it will be the same as soon as I get home.
When were walking home I look up to you to speak,
but your heads in your phone just like it's been all week.
I sit down when we are home a tear in my eye,
You say "what's wrong with you all you do is cry"?
I wish I could explain but I am only four,
Mum I really love you but you love your phone more.
I said those words out loud wanting you to hear,
I see you put your phone down i shed another tear.
I felt a little shocked when you came over to play,
we coloured in my book can we do it every day?
I wont be a child for long I won't always be four
soon I'll be an adult a child I'll be no more.
spend time with your child don't let them feel alone,
when I woke next morning mums head was in her phone.
It was good while it lasted the little play we had,
now Im left home and have a little lad.
Mum you missed me being a child because your head was in your phone,
I know what parent i will be not always on my phone!
