Playing at the park with my mom

Memories I never had..

 

I saw my mom get taken by police

I didn't understand, just felt abandoned

Visits behind a glass window

Back and forth from home to home

No place to really call mine

Drug abuse, lies and excuses

Something no kid should go through

 

Laughter, and happiness with my mom

Memories I never had..

 

A new face I had never seen, she called me her niece

She put out her hand and said your coming with me

I took her hand and off to Reno we went

No memory of this person and still I went

So trusting that she would give me a new life

But a memory of a bad past will never be forgotten.

 

Christmas and Thanksgiving with my mom

Memories I never had..

 

Seeing other kids with their family

I admit it did upset me

Mine was broken and it couldn't be fixed

So many stories they told me

So many questions I wanted to ask

They wanted to protect me so I couldn't talk to her

Only a picture is how I could remember her

 

Playing at the park. Laughter and happiness.

Christmas and Thanksgiving, memories I was suppose to have

 

Twelve years later I was able to see

This person I have always wanted to meet

No good memories from the past, only bad

Still I wanted this relationship I never had

Twenty years old and I finally get to forgive

The memories I never had will start from here.
