When times were hard you could have gone, just walked out, left us behind

Drunken abuse, hurt and beat, for you, your life it was not kind.

Throughout my childhood you kept us safe, my memories make me shudder

I  know why you did what you did, because you were our protector, friend and…. MOTHER

I can never repay you for your unconditional love, please just know that you are never forgotten and always missed.
