Heart to Heart

Mama, didn't mean to make you cry (thebastardbard) wk 2

 Mama, didn't mean to make you cry

Mama,

The baby boy that you cared for didn't want to be your son

He wanted his dad to look up to, he wanted to be a better man

He tied his shoes the way you taught him, lace over under one

He packed his bags to chase the sky, and away your baby boy ran

.

Mama,

The baby girl that you loved didn't want any of your compassion

She wasted her life and filled her thoughts with rusty gears and strife

She tied her hair the way you taught her, plaited neat with a pink ribbon

Clicked her heels and stole some wheels, now your baby girl's a wife

.

Mama,

The little child that you raised simply didn't want to let you down

For you worked your backbones broken and you sold your golden crown

You just wanted a better future for us, and to live to see our tomorrow

Oh mama, how would you have known that it would end in sorrow?

.

Mama,

You'll always have stark hope, and you're forever keeping our faith

So just pray some more and cross your fingers hard until it breaks

Mama, you never asked anyone anything, no, you never begged Him why

I'm sorry mama, I promise we'll be okay someday, so don't cry, please don't cry...
