Dear Mother Poem by James Casey

Dear Mother

Mother, do you remember me?
I am your son, your other son

The one who you neglect
The one you wanted to terminate

Well I am here, not going away
I will be here forever and a day

When you are old, you'll think I forgot
But, I'll visit you to show I have not

For into this it is I that you brought
I still love you whether you like it or not

Sisters and lovers meant more than your son
But, dear mother, It' s the son who has won

My spirit was never broken I stumbled a lot
And fell quite often to achieve what I got

And so dear mother you have gone away now
If God forgives you, in heaven he may allow

But is it up to him to forgive all your sin?
Or up to others to allow your soul in
