The Good Mother Her Children Will Never Disown Poem by Francis Duggan

Though bad things to others it's been proven they've done
The mother stands up for her daughter or son
She will tell you my child not guilty of such a crime
And should not be locked up in prison serving time
When her child is one who is without a friend
The mother his or her honor will defend
Though to the police her family may be known
The good mother her children will never disown
That her children are criminals the mother will deny
When they are otherwise friendless them she does stand by
Faithful to her own for as long as she does live
Support to her family the mother does give
She will tell you her child the justice system did fail
And because of that he or she languish in jail.
