Crying for nothing
The world begins
Only when you are born
Blameless you are
For Mother takes the blame
Yet crying,
For nothing should I say…
Guilt is it?
Optimistic you look
Her time is yours
Yours not for her
Guiltless you seem
Yet crying
For nothing should I say…
Selfish you are
Nibble the milk
From the breast for free
Yet crying
For nothing should I say…
Warm in her back
For that is the house
No rent to compensate
Yet crying
For nothing should I say…
Her sleep is gone
To keep you afloat
Her life for you
Yours not for her
Yet crying
For nothing should I say…
Mother suffers
For you to grow
To enjoy life and not to cry
For nothing should I say…
