THANK YOU MOTHER

THANK  YOU  MOTHER

 

Where  are  the  children

Where  have  they  gone

The  neighborhoods  are  empty

Something  must  be  wrong

 

For  I  remember  so  well

We  even  played  in  the  street

A  neighborhood  fill  with  laughter

And  all  those  little  feet

 

All  the  mothers  kept  watch

Either  yours  or  theirs

You  just  knew  if  you  got  hurt

There  was  someone  who  cares

 

Now  the  neighborhood  is  silent

For  the  careers  must  come  first

The  children  are  all  in  day  care

Is  that  the  mother’s  curse

 

I’ll  thank  you  mother

For  we  were  first  in  your  life

You  were  so  proud  of  your  career

As  mother  and  wife

  

The wise woman builds her house, But the

Foolish pulls it down with her hands.
