BLUE LITTLE BOY
Copyright © 1994-1999 All Rights Reserved

The little boy sits...
He watches and waits...
and wonders...
Where's Mommy?
The day seems infinite,
he can't tell time.

The Mom glances at her watch...
too long gone.
Heartache for the little boy...
Precious hours away...
she's on the clock.

The babysitter,
she tries to fill in
for the little boy,
But there's no bond
and she anxiously awaits the time.

Society scorns the welfare mom
unable to accept her attempts...
to raise her own.

Although the system was originally created to support...
moms raising their kids.

So the little boy waits...
And watches...
And wonders...
Where's Mommy?
