Oh you treated me kindly
And provided me my every need.
You gave me schooling, education,
And my daily drinks and feeds.
And though you never meant to hurt,
If only you could see how
The marriage between the two of you
Still affects me even now.
Oh I live a happy life,
A beautiful child to keep me whole,
My husband with a workers hand
And a tender, loving soul.
Yet any accidental crash,
From somewhere in my home
Leaves me with the horrid thought
That I may end up alone.
It is silly, father, mother,
That a fallen lamp has me believing
That someone whom I love so much
Really could be leaving.
Yes you loved me, and you cared.
You never left me on my own.
But oh how you ruined the concept
Of a safe and secure home.
