I made the path for you
Though the journey seemed long
There were obstacles along the way
They served to make me strong
I made sure you had the best of care
And a good education
Brought you up in the Christian's way
Knowing it was best for you
As I got older and I could not care for myself
I saw a change in you
Whenever I tried to share with you
You raised your voice at me
I felt really hurt
When you let me know
I was a burden
And you wished me dead
As the verbal abuse got worse
I dared not tell a soul
Too frightened for my life
And weakened from the blows
I asked myself
Where did I go wrong
Then it hit me.
I was 'Guilty"!. Guilty of growing old".
