MOMMY

MOMMY

Mom, I was never a good son
I’m sorry
You cared for me...
Pat me gently on my head to show you loved me.
In embarrassment, I turned away.

I’m sorry

Mom, you fed me,
Watched me,
Healed me,
When I was coughing 
The entire night,

And you sat up alone-nights a teenage me was gone

I’m sorry...

You worried yourself sick, mom,
When I went to the front,
Wilted away
A flower in decay
I wasn’t there
When you had to go...
Mom I’m sorry to see you again this way

I’m sorry.
