I LOVE YOU

I gave you life; I went through pain

Why do they point at me with blame?

I gave you love; I do without

To show it’s you I care about.

I beg I plead for you to do

The kind of things that your suppose to do

I look for help because I want to be

The type of mother that you need

Instead I find they think I’m wrong

I need the courage to be strong

I want our family not to fail

I’d hate to see you end up

in the streets or in jail

I love you and

I want you to see

You are the only thing

That matters to me.
