Daughter to Mother
Well, Mom, I'll tell you this...
Life sure hasn't been easy for me.
Its had a lot of arguing in it, and fighting,
and screaming at all hours of the night.
Plus all kinds of hurt feelings.
Alcohol, too.
But all this time,
I been hanging on to dreams,
and hoping you were safe,
and encouraging you to leave him,
and crying when I saw your bruised face.
All because of his "problem,"
So Mom, don't you give in...
Don't tell yourself you're "no good"
Because you should know its not true.
And all this time, I've been loving you
and you've been loving him...
and life sure hasn't been easy for me.
