The Plea

You’ve never had that worried look before

You’ve never looked so sad

Before when I knew you,

You looked great

Like everything was perfect

Life was going your way

Your children were great.

During this past year though

You started to age, looked so worried

Maybe it was me

Me who worried you so

So much that you look so old

But you’ve should have learned

Learned that you can’t do everything

Everything for me

I must learn by myself

And then there was, what was I to do with my life

That’s something I must discover by myself

In the beginning I was the easy child

During the middle I was the difficult one

But in the end I hope you realize that I’ll do ok.
