A Mother's Wish

By Err0r

When you took one step
I'd take two.
Because I needed to go farther
Than you.

And if you sang softly,
I'd sing louder
Because I needed to be heard more
Than you.

And If you cried when you were lonely
I'd tough it out
Because I needed to be stronger
Than You.

And if you were attacked
I'd take the hits
Because I needed to protect better
Than you.


And If you reflected In A mirror
I'd shy away...
Because when I looked at you
I saw me.


And when I have kids mom...
I'll wish for the same thing too
That my child succeed better than me
Just Like I Did
For You
