I was never there.......

I was there yet never there for you my babies.

In my frenzy to be the best MOM , I forgot I had kids not stuffed toys.

In my zeal to give you the best, I forgot you needed love and care and not material things.

In my anger with the rest of the world, I overlooked your hunger for love.

In my zest for a career, I forgot my post as a mother.

I treated you like an employee.

I treated you like my staff.

I forgot, when all would be gone, you would still stick by me.

Crown and glory came and went, you stood by me.

I forgot.

When I was down and out, you were there for me.

I forgot.

I forgot myself, I forgot you.

My memory lapse, widened the gap, between you and me.

I am sorry, I was never there for you my babies.

But, you were there for me always.

Today, when I look back.

Today, when I introspect.

Today, in retrospect... I feel ashamed... I was never there.

I was there but I was never there.

I failed my test, yet I expect you to excel.

What a hypocrite am I?

I failed in my duties, yet I expect you to be the best.

What a sick mind have I?

I was never there, yet I expect you to be there.

In my twilight, I guess I will have to walk alone towards the sunset....

Coz, I was never there for you.
