Array ( [sid] => 46675 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Forgotten Mother [time] => 2004-05-08 14:50:33 [hometext] => How many mothers will know this kind of day? Please don't let it be your own! [bodytext] => ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Forgotten Mother

She’s looking out the window
Thru eyes of memory
Remembering long ago mornings
� When the children needed me�

Oh how she remembers
The chaos of every morn
The hustling and bustling
The frustrations and scorn

Children arguing every morning
As they’re drug from their bed
Oh yes she relives
All those memories in her head

A quickly waved goodbye
As the bus passes from sight
A golden tear trickling from an eye
A prophetic insight

Where are her children?
Why have they been so long away?
Have they really forgotten her
On this their Mothers Day?

She never causes trouble
Never tries to invade their space
But tonight she cannot control
The tears pouring down her face

“Alone once more� she sighs
All hopes and dreams now dead
Tonight-another forgotten mother
Cries lonely upon her bed

Russ

Forgotten Mother

She’s looking out the window
Thru eyes of memory
Remembering long ago mornings
� When the children needed me�

Oh how she remembers
The chaos of every morn
The hustling and bustling
The frustrations and scorn

Children arguing every morning
As they’re drug from their bed
Oh yes she relives
All those memories in her head

A quickly waved goodbye
As the bus passes from sight
A golden tear trickling from an eye
A prophetic insight

Where are her children?
Why have they been so long away?
Have they really forgotten her
On this their Mothers Day?

She never causes trouble
Never tries to invade their space
But tonight she cannot control
The tears pouring down her face

“Alone once more� she sighs
All hopes and dreams now dead
Tonight-another forgotten mother
Cries lonely upon her bed
