Everyday mother fights depression
Problems from her past
Have caused her condition
To deterioraite

At age 15
During a baseball game
She watched her Dad
Collapse and die
On the field

No one could revive him
No one could save him
Her Dad dies at 49

Then 2 of her brothers
Do things to her
Brothers should not do
But she never told her mother
For she would have blamed it on her
So for all this years
Supressed deep inside
Were her feelings of anger
That never subside

She tried to gain acceptance from her mother
But her mother never gave a time or day
So they were never close
Down to her dying day

Now I can see why
My mother cries so much
She feels the pain
Of when she grew up

In 1989 she wanted to end the pain
But before that could happen
She commited herself into a mental hospital
To recieve the help
She so desperately needed

Every now and then
I still see those tears of pain
A Mother's tears
Will never go away

Cold hands means a warm heart
