Dear Mother

Dear Mother
I'm a seven year old boy
You're my superhero
And superheroes don't get hurt

Dear Mother
I have trouble in high school
I've really messed up this time
It's something I can't get through

Dear Mother
You say nothing's set in stone
You have to conquer every mountain on your own
When the road is tough
Stop and have a break
And carry on when you are strong enough again

Dear Mother
I'm a twenty year old boy
You're my superhero
And superheroes don't get hurt

Dear Mother
It's been two years since we found out
They say it's really serious
There's nothing more they can do

Dear Mother
You say nothing's set in stone
You have to conquer every mountain on your own
And when the road is tough
Stop and have a break
And carry on when you are strong enough again

Dear Mother
I came to visit you last night
I'm your son
The one with whom you used to fight

Dear Mother
They said it was a bad day
They said the drugs were talking
That's why you didn't recognize me

Dear Mother
You said nothing's set in stone
You had to conquer every mountain on your own
And when the road was tough
I thought you'd stop and have a break

But dear mother
Nothing's set in stone
except your name
