Couldn't cry As I made my first move My eyes were dry As my mom had cried!
Could only laugh When tears came and blocked Life was tough Yet "we" pulled and towed!
Could only fake a smile When he stabbed "us" in our hearts Could only love him more The farther he seemed to go!
Could never know us, fair But, you were never there Alas! Then when you came "We" weren't there to bear!
Written on the 31st August, 2002. It is quite depressing to be brought up in a broken family. A single mother, no matter how hard she tries with all her constraints, can never replace a father.
