The Son

Mama, you did not know me, I was your baby son,
Mama, you did not love me, I was your little one.
Mama, I really needed you to hold me close and tight,
Mama, I needed somebody to keep me warm at night.
Mama, my life was over, before it had begun,
Mama, if you had known me, I would have been your son.
Mama, you could have loved me, if help had gone your way,
But fourteen is too young to care, your mother had her say.
She said she would not help you, she would leave you in the cold.
Mama, you COULD have had me, you would have had ME to hold.
To keep you warm and loved mama,
that chance I did not have.
I am here in heaven alone now mama, I do not think its fair,
You don't know what its like mama, I dont think that you care.
Mama, you did not know me, and even if you had,
Mama, you would not have loved me cause I wouldn't have a dad.
Your fathers fault, but mother did not know,
Your painful, longing, crying, sorrow....
