Merry Christmas, Mom
Mom,
I know this was hard for you, I've had to battle stuff too,
But when all's said and done, I guess I always had you.
But you've never had anyone, no shoulder to lean on,
And I guess I broke yours, over the years that have gone.
It's always been hard for me, but it's been harder for you,
so I guess this is it, I've found out the whole truth.
I never thought this could happen to you, why didn't you tell me?
Oh, I remember, it was because I was too much of a jerk to see
the truth behind the snow and all the gifts- that you were hurting,
that this thing was eating you slowly, while I was busy flirting.
They keep saying it's never too late to apologize,
But I guess it is now, bet you won't be able to rise.
I'm sorry, mom. That's all I wanted to say.
Your life's been nothing less than a cold winter day.
But it's the least I can do to stand here and admit I was wrong,
Amidst the cold winter chill and sing this sad old song.
I remember you taught it to me, did you have cancer then too?
I guess you did, you never even told me, did you?
I guess this makes me the worst son you could have hoped for,
But I'm going to sing "Merry Christmas" though you're no more.
Guess what, mom, I'm going to join you, 'cause I can't bear it,
So, Merry Christmas, mom, I promise I'll be around in a bit.
-Your son.
