I Will Always Be Here

by Angela Morrison
(fife Scotland)

No matter what I say - no matter what I do,
Nothing will ever please you,
If I say nothing - I do not care,
If I say what I think - it angers you,
You want me to sit back and watch you fade away,
To watch you idolise ones who really do not care,
Ones who would have you live a life of nothingness,
When I know you are so much more,
You have so much to live for - so much to give,
Its not like your stupid or cannot learn,
Your clever and bright and need to live life,
Life isn't sitting doing nothing all day - life is for living - don't throw it away,
I've said all I want - its now up to you,
I'm just your mum who wants the best for you,
But your throwing it all away - do you really not care,
Anyway that is what I have to say - you break my heart more each day,
But as always I will be here - the fool who loves you and will forever care,
Your always forgiving mum
