I wish I had a mother, <br />That would love me the way she should. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />To accept me for who I am. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />Who wouldn’t belittle me the way she does. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />Who would trust me some of the time. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />That would listen to me when I’m in pain. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />Who would trust me just abit. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />Who would help me when I asked. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />Who didn’t criticize me the way she does. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />Who would understand the pain she’s caused <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />Who didn’t have to be right all the time. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />Who would see the good that I’ve done. <br />I wish I had a mother, <br />Who wouldn’t make me beg for her love.<br /><br />A.M.
