go, leave
make a life for yourself
live dream achieve
say those words to the world
thanking us
your parents …
…visit the home
when we are old or gone
tell all
we meant the world to you
but
no one will know
how each minute of our lives
we missed
you being with us
growing up
they
never leave our side
and
we have no time
for ourselves
until
one day
they go away
to make their own lives
and we
have all the unwanted time
in the world
walking along
the crowded roads
a sea of people
in their own worlds
a microcosm
they carry
with them,
detached…
…yet connected…
by life
those sleepless nights
twisting and turning
in bed
ghosts of the past
giving me company
and me
waiting
for
the angels
to sing
me a lullaby
it just slips away
the time
we have
on our hands
so
lets promise
ourselves today
to
make each moment
worthwhile
ah! that love
of silent unspoken words
that speaks volumes
and then
just like that
dreams took a backseat
and
being a wife and mother
became important
