The child stays close
Hiding behind her mother’s dress
She looks over and sees, a boy sitting alone
Her mother pushes her closer
She gives her child a friend
In return, her child cries when it’s time to go home
Yells and shouts at having to leave her friend
The child stays close
Holding her mother’s hand
She looks up and sees a building
Kids going in
Her mother pushes her in
She gives her child an education
In return, her child does her homework alone
Another reason to keep mom away
The child stays close
Standing at her mother’s side
She looks up and sees a college
Her mother pushes her through the door
She gives her child a place to find herself
In return, her child never calls
Never asks for advice
The child stays close
Standing shyly beside her mother
She looks up and sees a man
The boy her mother had pushed her to in kindergarten
Her mother stepped back, pushing her child
She gives her child a grand wedding
In return, the child moves away
And rarely visits
Love your mother, and thank her for all she’s done for you
You’ll be a mother someday soon
