Would You Still Love Me

Dear mom, don’t know how to tell you, 
My friends are joining big colleges, 
I did my best in my exams, 
But couldn’t get through, 
Would you still love me?

My sister and I started music school together, 
She came out with flying colors;
 I attended all my classes sincerely, 
But failed to form my own band, 
Would you still love me?
Your friend’s son is playing for the nationals, 
May be next year for international, 
She must be very proud on him, 
I was first from the last, 
Would you still love me?

I am very careless and messy
In the morning while dusting, 
I broke your favorite vase, 
Also the perfume you bought for especial times, 
Would you still love me?

I tried my hands in kitchen too, 
All the toasts got charred, 
Sought to make an omelet, 
But all four eggs are resting in the sink, 
Would you still love me?
