Make me proud

by amanda flood   Apr 8, 2007


Listen to me
and stop looking away
i need you to hear what i am just about to say
i am dieing and i need you here with me

to look after our four beautiful kids
they are going to need you know
so throw down your bottle
and please make me proud

they need looking after
they are so precious to me
i know you love them too
but its like your addiction comes first

i haven't got long
please listen and stop turning away
you need to help yourself
before you become a mother and father

to them kids
there little hearts are going to break
like never before
you need to be there for them all of the time
tell them i am not gone far

tell them all the happy time we shared
tell them story's about me meeting you
and tell them how much we loved them so
tell them i love them and make them proud

please do this for me
you need to give up the bottle
i cant do much not anymore
i can hardly shower myself,its becoming so sore

our for kids need love from you
like never before
i will write everything down for you
about there school there clubs everything
they like in this world
so you don't forget

just do me this favour thats all i ask
mind our little ones
and make them laugh
tell them there mammy never left home

tell them she was taking from god
to watch over you
tell them that the stars above
always shine like mammy's smile

    I agree with ^^

    It's a very sad piece that tells a tale of mother just wanting things to be put right.
    Very emotive
    5/5
