Mother Needs Us

Mother provides for us day in and day out.

She gives us the wind to play in,

the sun to soak up and the rain to splash in.

But Mother is getting weak,

 Mother needs us

She is no longer as strong as she used to be.

She can’t blow the wind for weeks or cry the rain for days. 

Mother needs us

When will we know to provide for our mother

instead of her providing for us? 

We are stabbing our mother but still expect her to live for us,

Mother needs us  

Mother is weak, mother is sick, mother is fragile.

Mother is no longer herself, 

Mother needs us
