A forgotten Mother's Day
A forgotten mother am I
I just want to sit and cry,
My son it seems has went away
And refuses to remember Mother's Day
Wonder if he's still aware
That I even exist out there
I bet if I won the lottery
He'd be around for all to see.
But since I can't buy him things
I'm nothing more than broken strings
A puppet he can no longer control
No longer a part of the whole
Tossed aside like yesterday's trash
Because I can no longer give him cash
I'm not worth his time you see,
I guess I just remain dead to thee.
But still it hurts to know
My son doesn't care to show
Even on Mother's Day
I'll sit alone and waste away.

hear this age of children complaining about their parents and pasts around here, but we rarely get to see a parents' point of view of their issues with their older children. i appreciated this side, thanks for the window.

Thanks, I wrote this after waiting all day yesterday to hear from my son, I don't have long distance so I can't call, since I'm now on a fixed income and don't have any extra, there's no time for me anymore. Couldn't even call to say "I'm thinking of you or I love you, mom" on Mother's Day, even a card in the mail would have been nice.
But, alas nothing, nada, zip.

This is so heartfelt. A beautiful outpour.
(feel bad now for being picky lol)
\'But still it hurts know

Just this part doesn\'t seem as tight as the rest..
But still it hurts (to?) know (maybe?)
My son doesn\'t care to show
Really can\'t fault this though, it is a great write. As for your son, one day he will realize how lucky he is that he has a mother who loves him as you do.
i want to give you a mothers day hug now

You're absolutely right, that word "to" should be in there I read it there but now I see it's missing..
I made the fix by the way..
