MOTHER'S DAY

IT'S MOTHER'S DAY AND HERE I SIT ALL ALONE.
MY MOM IS GONE AND MY CHILDREN ALL GROWN.
I WONDER WHAT DID I DO WRONG IN LIFE.
I ALWAYS TRIED TO BE THERE FOR THEM THROUGH TROUBLE AND STRIFE.
FROM BABIES TO ADULTS, I TRIED TO GIVE THEM THE BEST.
I WORKED LONG HOURS WITH SOMETIMES NO REST.
I WORKED AT SCHOOL EVENTS, GIRL SCOUTS AND SUCH.
NOW I SEE THAT IT DIDN'T MEAN VERY MUCH.
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND ARE OUT ON THEIR OWN.
HERE I SIT ON MOTHER'S DAY..ALL ALONE.
