My other kids have had to cope
Witness me almost give up hope
Take back seats in my attention
Though it’s never my intention
Her actions often supersede
Them, in their times of need.
They watch me trying to refrain
From falling too far down again
They’ve seen that once before
When I couldn’t go on any more
It broke their hearts, and mine too
Knowing what I put them through
I lost them then, I won’t again.
My love for them all strengthens me
Gives me the best reason to be
