Tears fall as I think of you,
Memories now faded.
A mother's guilt,
I'm sorry I was lost,
Drowned in life's sorrows,
Immersed within myself.
A mother's guilt,
Trying to survive and care for you,
I lost us both in time.
Time, a precious gift, slipped away,
Time I have lost.

I see you now and my heart breaks,
Lost precious moments,
My precious boy.
Trying to survive, I have lost time,
A mother's guilt.
