My Mother Didn’t Tell Me

[StressedOut]

Mother didn’t tell me
That there’d be days like this.
In fact, mother didn’t tell me anything
So everything she did miss.

She didn’t tell me
About the birds and bees
Or even the difference
Between the she’s and he’s.

Mother figured I’d learn about these things
One way or the other.
Maybe even the way she learned about them...
And that neither came from her mother.

How strange mother’s can be.
Certainly the ones who don’t talk
To their children about life.
No, not only at birds and bees do they balk.

For mother never told me that
I would have a day like I am having today.
Nothing is going right for me at all.
Not even the things I say.

Mother never told me
So many things I’ve needed to know.
If I could see her today
I would certainly tell her so.

She needed to do a better job
In raising me, her child.
She needed to prepare me for things
That upon me have piled.

So to all the mother’s out there
Please hear what I have to say.
Talk to your children about life
And they will better find their way.
