For Mother
There in the cradle the child lies
Desperate for mother's affection
Mother is in the corner, cowering from the cries
Afraid of her child's rejection
Upon cold cheeks these tears do fall
The scars they run too deep
A mother who could not give her all
To a child she did not want to keep
Now in the mirror, she looks but can not see
The reality of her reflection
Baby in the cradle, that child is me
Desperate for my mother's attention
Desperate for mother's affection
Mother is in the corner, cowering from the cries
Afraid of her child's rejection
Upon cold cheeks these tears do fall
The scars they run too deep
A mother who could not give her all
To a child she did not want to keep
Now in the mirror, she looks but can not see
The reality of her reflection
Baby in the cradle, that child is me
Desperate for my mother's attention
