Here is my truth,
I had you at fourteen,
-
And all the pain you feel right now,
Is all because of me,
-
You couldn't take that field trip,
Because I couldn't afford your leave,
-
You weren't aloud to go to church,
Because god never answered my plea,
-
I didn't spend much time with you,
When you held your arms up high,
-
But now I look back on it,
And wish I swung you to the sky,
-
You never got that chance,
The chance tomake me smile,
-
Because I never let you dance,
In my heart for not even awhile,
-
I never listened when you wanted to talk,
And because of that I'm walking my lonely walk,
-
I cannot tell you how sorry I am,
For failing as your mother and ran,
-
You shouldn't have gone to that foster home,
You shouldn't have been told what to do,
-
I was supposed to raise my sweet baby,
I was supposed to love you,
-
But now that you are older,
And my life is finally done,
-
I wish though I don't deserve it,
Please give me another chance son…
