and now that I am older I can see the pain I caused you.
You brought me into this world and it wasn't an easy task
to love you and always respect you was all you ever asked.
Redheaded, headstrong, and full of meanness that was me
but through it all you always managed to let me be free.
Lines of worry I put on your face and the tears really fell
and soon time spent away you didn't know me very well.
Travels took me to far away places where bullets and bombs flew
and even then through all that I didn't do much thinking of you.
But I guess the worst was when you were sick and dieing
and I did not know or even check would be called lieing.
Five years after you died I found out from a friend of mine
the day went dark and I was froze in time.
Lord forgive me, I'll never live down this shame that I feel
So Mom Please forgive me as by your grave I kneel....
