Mummy don’t go

When I wake up, you are gone

I rarely ever see you in the morn

Why do you disappear like this?

Why do I miss you so much, mom?

 

Weekends I love, cuddling next to you

But those aren’t enough, being far and few

What I need it more and more of you

A twenty four hours uninterrupted view

 

Some friends of mine are luckier than me

In their home, it’s not only I, but us or we

They laugh and play, while I’m not so free

I’m so scared to just by myself always be.

 

I know you must go, you told me why it is so

But sometimes I cry, I feel scared and low

Things’ll be better, when I’m older, I know

But for today, mummy please please don’t go.

brings tears to the eye….can understand very well being a mom and also having made the decision to be just a 24 hr mom for her
