My Dear Children

Just thought i would write a letter
To tell you how i feel
I know! you think me feeble
But that's just part of my appeal,

I know that i haven't been the best parent
And sometimes i can be a bit of a pain!
But given my whole life over
A would give birth to you all over again,

Being a mum isn't easy!
There are lots that i have to learn
But to get the respect you need from me
Sadly you have to earn,

So when i complain that you neglect me
And i am in need of attention from you
Just remember the time i have unconditionally given
And all the things that i did for you,
If in your busy, and fast paced lives
Now and again you think of the women behind the smile
Just know that i still love you
And please come visit me for a while,

Love you my children
Your Mum!

yes... but that second stanza:

"I know that i haven't been the best parent
And sometimes i can be a bit of a pain!
But given my whole life over
A would give birth to you all over again,"

...says it all...nice write

Yo Anniepimm,

Always capitalize your first person singular personal pronoun "I".

That's one of the first rules for adequate writing.  Never diminish yourself to small letters.
