I was dropped at birth,
The doctor said it was an accident.
My father said until his dying day
That was why I was how I was.

Welcome to the real world my friend,
No stars in the sky
Nothing there to light your way through life
When you were always hearing that

Was how I was.

Ahhhhh there's always stars out there somewhere lighting a path.

Good expressions though

Terence, this reminded me of something.
Before my late husband died, every time he
would do something his Mother didn't think
was right, she would tell me that it was
because he had such a high fever when he was
a child. She said that it did something to
his brain. He probably heard that all the
time he was growing up, too.

When I would act ways my Dad didn't like, he
would call me his sisters names, or my Mom's
sister, or queeny.

I don't think parents should do their
children that way.
Hugs to you,

Ethel

I have never been right, maybe it was because I was dropped by the doctor, maybe it was a father who felt I was a loser.

Thanks Ethel.

If I am silent, it is because I am thinking, if I do not talk, please do not think I am rude.
