Oh Mommy, Oh My Mommy Oh mommy, oh my mommy, please do not leave me here In daytime it is way too hot, at night it is cold here. But mommy either couldn’t or wouldn’t stop to listen Although you could see the tears start on her cheeks to glisten. Oh mommy, pretty mommy, why do you leave me here? I’m going to be lonely, and they won’t feed me, I fear. But mommy didn’t seem to hear the words as they were said. She only stood with downcast eyes, and bowed her graying head. But mother, oh my mother, I don’t want to be here. At night you will not hold me close, and kiss away my fear. The mother knelt upon the grass, and reached out to her son. Sleep peaceful here, my child, she said, enjoy the warming sun. Oh mom, the child choked back some tears, you’re really leaving me. Alone amongst these strangers I know I’ll be unhappy. You’re not alone, the mother cried, her voice and heart were breaking. For God is with you, and He will n’er you be forsaking. My mom and dad, the child cried out, are you punishing me? What have I done that you would hurt me unmercifully? Oh don’t think that, the parents wailed, we are not mad at you. Why look, we’ve chosen just the place to give you a great view. See the grass, how lush and green, and hear the birds, they’re singing. Just look around, and you will see more parents children bringing. We’re not the only ones who leave their children here. And we do truly understand that this place brings you fear. You only did one small mistake, I guess that’s why you’re here. You didn’t listen when we told you ‘bout our greatest fear. You were almost an adult, thought you could our words ignore. So that night you snuck out late, thru our home’s back door. You went to a teen party, guess you had a real good time. Everyone there had lots to drink, and all were feeling fine. We think that it was getting late, you started to worry. You knew that if we caught you out, we would be unhappy. So you accepted an offer to give you a ride back. E’en though you knew your friend was drunk, his judgement therefore lack. We’ll never know just what happened, but now you belong here. You didn’t listen, or you would not have to stay, my dear. Ah father, I see you father, I’m sure you’ll answer me. Why just the other day you said that you were proud of me. You said that I had almost reached the age when I could do The things I’d always wanted to, I can depend on you. The father shuffled both his feet, and answered with a groan. I know what you are feeling, child, it’s sad when you’re alone. But just pause now, and realize, the wrong that you did do. Just stop and think, and try to see, your loving parents’ view. We have to leave you here, but you forget that we hurt too. We also have to live our days and nights while missing you. Each moment of our life while you are gone, our hearts will ache. Our tears will flow so often, and the pain our souls will break. You have not just yourself condemned to being unhappy. Your actions have determined that we’ll live in misery. Just rest here now, I know it’s hard, but you will have to try. We’ll join you up in heaven above when it’s our turn to die. Oh mommy, oh my mommy, and my daddy too. I’m so afraid, ‘cause now I know I’ll nevermore see you. Oh mommy…………oh my mommy. Dave C. Moore C: Pixie~Elf Productions July 11, 2000 |
