Where were you
when your family was crying
where were you when your
daughter was growing up
where were you
when your son was crying every night
where were you
when your kids were not all right
where were you
when your daughter had her prom
where were you
when your son was lost and confused
where were you
when your daughter graduated high school
where were you
all those times we needed you
where were you when
our mom had to work two jobs just to support us
where were you
when our mother was our rock
where were you
when your children were learning life's pain
where were you
when your kids were making choices
where were you
when you were not making any effort to see us
you weren't there
did you even care
we may forgive
but we will never forget
