Child…

Can you hear me?

You never heard my voice,

Saw my face.

Child…

Do you know me?

The one who birthed you

Into this cold world.

Child…

Can you forgive me?

For the choice I made

That changed you forever.

Child…

Would you ask me?

The reason I forsaken love

For your father.

Child…

Do you hate me?

The foolish woman

Who made you a sacrifice.

Child…

Would you understand me?

The agony that burns,

A stigma for my sins.

Child…

Would you believe me?

If I said I loved you

When I never held you.

Child…

Can you recognize me?

When I come to you,

Leaving this life behind.

Child…
