Mother, Please

I just came out of your womb,

Mother, please swaddle me.

I just had a bad dream,

Mother, please hold me.

I just got a new toy,

Mother, please play with me.

I just fell down and skinned my knee,

Mother, please kiss me.

I just caught the stomach flu,

Mother, please make soup for me.

I just came home after curfew,

Mother, please don't yell at me.

I just got straight A's,

Mother, please celebrate with me.

I just fell in love for the first time,

Mother, please trust me.

I just had my heart broken,

Mother, please eat ice cream with me.

I just had my name called at the reaping,

Mother, please save me.

I just got a silver parachute from you,

Mother, please don't starve for me.

I just made my first kill,

Mother, please forgive me.

I just got stabbed in my heart,

Mother, please don't cry for me.

I just heard my cannon ring out,

Mother, please remember me.
