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.
