Mother and Child

I was there for you.
Took care of you.
Helped support you.
Cried for you.
All these years.

I gave it all up for you.
Stayed around for you.
Could never leave you.
Never would cry in front of you.
Only showed my smile.

Now where are you?
I need you.
Even when I look around I don’t see you.
How could it be like there was no you?
You were my mother and I was your child.
