a mother worries



A mother worries
The history of her mistakes
It will rub on to her children
So she will try to protect

When we were young
We thought we couldn't make mistakes
We took for granted without sharing
Leaving the bad tastes of our lives

Now the children
They will repeat history
The sad story flashes by
The familiar pages begin

One daughter married too young
Within a year a child was born
The man has no job still thinking he is free
Leaving his wife and child in misery

Now the sister is going the same way
Falling in love with a jobless youth
She thinks it is love.....
But she is repeating the mistakes of the past

A mother worries
Telling her daughters to learn
The advice falling on deaf ears
The daughters will learn their misery
