Dear MOM
{written By, Candice Landis ©2012}
I Really Dont Know What To Say
I Watched You Walk Away When I Was Eight
I Thought If I Was A Better Kid You'd Stay
I See Things Differently Today
I Know Now Why You Had To Go
I Don't Understand Why You Left Us Behind Though
Was It Because You Were Scared?
Dad Told Us You Just Didn't Care
For Eight Years I Watched You Abuse Each Other
I'm 40 Now And I Remember Like Yesterday The Day I Lost My Mother
I Learned Alot From Watching You And Dad
I Learned What Not To Do With The Children I Would Have
I Know I Was Not Always The Perfect Mother
I Tried My Best Though And I Never Abandoned Them For A Lover
We Are Not As Close As I'd Like, You Never Call Just To Say Hi
I've Never Understood The Reason Why
I Watch Sadly As You Age
When I See You On Holidays
Your Oldest Sons Children You Are Forced To Raised
I Wonder If Thats The Price You're Made To Pay For The Mistakes You've Made
It Saddens Me To See You Grow Old
All The Responsibiliry At Your Age You Hold
Anyways, I Love You Mom
I Just Wanted You To Know
