Guilt of Working Mum

You grow so fast 
Fighting all emotions 
Stopping my tears 
I know I had to 
Leaving my four month in daycare
Knowing I had no choice 
Having that guilt I went on


You grow so fast 
I missed your little life journey 
Those little giggle that jiggle my heart
Your talks that meant everything to me 
Ohh how I wonder I could stay
To capture every moment I missed 
Having that guilt I went on


You grow so fast 
Running to fulfill full-time work 
I zoom away dropping in class
While other mums stay
Not being there for your runs
Missing your performance 
Having that guilt I went on


You grow so fast 
You ask me questions 
Why I don't stay like other mums
How come am not in your assembly 
Why am not there to pick you up 
Why I don't come to your sports 
Fights my emotions I sat
Mummy needs to work
Having that guilt I went on
